    I have to admit before watching this I would've told anyone that I can filet and skin better than any professional. I would've told everyone that they need my brand knife which I've used for nearly 50 years. I would've professed that I've learned to sharpen from the professionals and # is the best sharpener. I really got schooled here. Never had the opportunity to learn from a master sushi chef. I know which filet knife and stones I need to improve my skills. I started taking sushi classes in the Colorado mountains twenty years ago and quickly became proficient using what is available. Never realized what a good fit me and the sushi knives will be. I've got my eye on one in particular. I'm happy to be right hand proficient.
    Knife is life.

    Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night ruclips.net/user/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.

  • @ronaldpetersen255
    @ronaldpetersen255 4 года назад +2

    Great tutorial!! I have been scaling fish for close to 40 years and you can literally taste the difference!! I started using a knife and would remove around 60% of the scales and slime from Salmon and Rockfish, but have switched to a Horsehair comb and, for me, it is much easier to get into the tight spots and belly. Sometimes I’ll finish with a bbq brush, but be damn cautious that you don’t leave behind a metal bristle!!
    Anyway, thanks!!

  • @chukarhunter1907
    @chukarhunter1907 4 года назад +30

    Love the videos. Especially the cooking part and gathering. Our knife sharpening methods are different, but I believe that we are both getting the same end result. With bass, walleye, and rock fish, I do not gut the fish. But I agree with the scaling part. Keep up with the videos, strong work!

    I ordered two of these based on the reviews. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxqmKabisEv81ul5v7OhvVxxOpt2CJruI- Received them on time and they look good. I really like the handle on these knives as they feel good in my hand. I'm giving them 4 stars on look and feel, but have not had the chance to put them to the test yet. I mostly fish for catfish and can hopefully try them out in the next few days. If they hold an edge throughout a limit of catfish, they'll be worth another star.Update...I used the 9" strong and the 9" fillet on a mess of catfish. I did put a sharpening on these before I started. I want a razor edge to fillet fish but they weren't quite that sharp. The people who gave these knives crappy reviews and said they were sending them back was because they weren't razor sharp. So what, do they not have a knife sharpener?? Good grief! I mean you have to sharpen any knife from time to time.I personally like them and am pleased with them. If you're too lazy to sharpen a knife then hire someone to clean your fish lol.I've never bought a knife in my life that would shave hair right out of the box. Don't be afraid to purchase the knives. They're pretty nice in my opinion.

    Thanks. I was one of those who asked for a sharpening video.
    Much appreciated.
    I believe I learned that the name of the fixing stone as a truing stone.
    The only application I personally know of for stones higher than 10k is for straight razors. They go up to 30k or even more maybe?

  • @HildebrandGlossop
    @HildebrandGlossop 4 года назад +2

    This video is an excellent instruction on filet technique. Just enough detail and you focused on things that are hard to understand just from watching a video, like where exactly the knife pressure is going, and the blade angle when removing the skin.

    I scale my rockfish as well. A good method I like is to do it under water in a bucket. Keeps the scales from flying everywhere and easy to wash off. Great video as always, Chef. Thank you.

    Taku, thank you for another super informative video, you're really helping a lot of people out there craft their skills and you should know that it is appreciated.
    I've learned how to fillet halibut into 3 pieces from your video, even before the Hiro colab one. I've also learned about the salicornia plant from you too. I fish places where it is abundant and never thought it could be edible.
    Thanks for putting in the time to make these videos where you share your knowledge.

      Good quality knives will. A $6 fillet knife sold at Big 5 stores will never compare but, if that's all there is on the shores of your favorite fishing location, you have to use what you have. Anyone who wants to filet and prepare their freshly caught catch of fish should invest in good knives. It's safer and should be much faster while not ripping into the meat causing flesh issues.
