    Great knife sharpening tutorial by a master. I learned from my father who was also an expert in spotting a quality blade and how to treat good knives like treasure. My first super high quality chef knife was a Sabatier (French), I found at a garage sale. It had lots of surface rust and I bought it for around 5 dollars. The rust was covering the brand name of the knife but I knew it was quality steel since rust means, high carbon. I scrubbed the rust off toward the handle to finally reveal the brand. Sabatier. I knew I had a treasure.
    Sanding carefully for hours brought it back to its original sheen and beauty. No pits, the rust wasn’t that bad. It looked brand new. A 12 inch long blade, it got razor sharp using course to 6000 grit whet stones. Excellent knife and that sort of high carbon steel needs much care. Dried and lightly oiled after use, it’ll last a lifetime.
    Taku mentioned the “burr” on the edge while sharpening. That’s the edge on one side of the blade curling slightly to the opposite side. Most amateur knife sharpeners will feel the burr and think they are done. It “feels” sharp to the fingers but it will snag trying to cut paper. That microscopic burr must be polished out like Taku did in the final strokes on each side. The polished edge “feels” less sharp than the burr did, but watch how it cuts through paper like a razor. No snags.
    I’m a knife sharpening pro and have filleted thousands of fish through the years but I’m not nearly as exquisite at the art as Taku is.
    He’s a true master in so many things related to sharpening knives, fishing, filleting, Sashimi, sushi, and cooking fish.
    Typical Japanese, they master things and take nothing for granted.
    Wish I could have met him back in my prime, long before RUclips existed. He’d have been still a kid then, but I’d definitely take him out on my boat in Hawaii, his enthusiasm is contagious. His professionalism and success in his passion goes far beyond anyone I ever knew.
    Strangely, his life insurance commercial was absolutely the finest I’ve ever seen. Who could argue with that? Sure, you might not be a target of sharks or massive shorebreak in Hawaii, but a simple car accident lasts a fraction of a second as well.
    Great video and I apologize for my long-winded comment. Again.
    Peace and aloha to everyone, have fun and be safe. 🤙🏼

      I reread my comment and saw something I said that might be construed as “racist” or negative toward others. That is the line:
      “Typical Japanese, they master things and take nothing for granted.” This is a generalization and true for the most part, of the elder Japanese culture and tradition that permeates their culture. Growing up in Hawaii, and proudly Irish, I just found the Japanese superior in so many ways. I grew up around many cultures, but the Japanese are just known as quiet, humble, very intelligent, meticulous in every detail, and have little patience for failure do to laziness. Of course there are many exceptions, as in every culture or race.
      “Typical” meaning what I’m used to in the many older Japanese traditionalists I admire, just means that I’m very fond of them for what they’ve taught me through the years. Just as I’m fond of the old black man back in Chicago as a kid, who taught me how to play blues guitar with feeling and passion I wouldn’t have learned anywhere else. Calling him “typical” wouldn’t be right either these days, but I come from an older generation that loves the diversity and qualities of every culture. An open mind and humility is a good thing. Appreciation of the idiosyncrasies of each and every culture leads to an understanding of many. I just happened to grow up around the Japanese and Asians, and South Pacific Islanders. Fishermen, fish mongers, chefs, and terrible cooks. It’s a matter of taste and opinion but I’m sorry, I found the Japanese the very best at it. Taku is one of the many that I admire in that way. Very traditional Japanese but also Americanized enough to convey the fun in everything without judging.
      I just wanted to clear that up.
      Thanks for understanding. Aloha. 🤙🏼

    My hometown about 50 miles south of houston has a redfish, flounder, and speckled trout hatchery. I think the biggest in the US. I could be wrong. But would be cool if you made it down there one day and did a catch and cook for texas gulf coast species. Some great fishing down there.

    Hey guys! Great video! Just wanted to say that I really like your channels. I watch a lot of Food Network and other You Tube cooking videos, always looking for new recipes to try, but you always take your time so even if you don't fully explain a certain step, it is easy to see what you did. Although I do miss the catch and cook right on the beach or rocks. Anyway, thanks for great videos.I also always learn something new, for example, this time, being a person that has never even eaten halibut, let alone filleted one, I didn't know they had scales, I thought they had a slimmy skin.

    getting it young, is the way to go.
    You can get better coverage and lock in a great rate.
    It will be a weight off your shoulders and is especially important for those you Love.
    I got a different company but this one looks good and
    Taku did NOT compensate me in any way, I just know from my own experience.
    I did this just for the Halibut:(
