Thats Sad becouse I love to cook its my hobby im most amazed by japanese coulture and food someday I make Mine dream and I Will buy one of your Knives ☺️ Sorry for writing mistakes im from Norway
Sent this to my Son. He is very much into Japanese food and culture. He took culinary classes in school but has since lost his motivation. I would like him to find himself and continue on a path that will make him happy.
Just wanted to say thank you for de-mystifying knife sharpening. You’ve definitely taught me how to “fish” when it comes to knife sharpening and maintenance. Says a lot about your kindness that you want to go even further with helping people. God bless you and your continuing journey!
Finished culinary school a while back and have since joined the canadian army as a cook, loving life, and currently saving up to fill my knife case with real knives, using your channel as a guide! love the content! keep it up!
Hey Man! This is so amazing of you!! I'm a student (19) in Glasgow, Scotland. I have a huge passion for cooking but I adore cooking for other people especially. Japanese cuisine as well as culture is something I've had a big interest in for a few years now and it's what led me to finding your channel last year. At the start of the pandemic I took the opportunity to get more serious about my cooking, and since then I've spent hours and hours in-between study teaching myself as much as possible about the culinary world. To take that next step and go to culinary school is scary and expensive so I would love nothing more to be considered for this unbelievably generous thing you're doing. God bless you!
Thanks for everything Riki, you have taught a lot of people about knives brother. I am much better at knife sharpening because of you. My son and I watch everything you put out. Can't wait for your book. Thank you.
Taking an apprentice is a huge commitment. I wish you the best of luck. I hope whoever gets picked really understands the gravity of the situation and respects it.
Appreciate the sense of comraderie you create here. Allowing people of lesser opportunity to achieve something great for themselves simply because you have the means is the methodology with which we should all operate. Appreciate you!
Hi Ryky Just dont know how you do it, so generous and such a beautiful caring family, Now, I turned 76 so i think my Catering Career has now faded :) I'll just continue to wear out my cheap chefs knife with my rubbish skills, at least I can get it sharp through your help Regards, Gary ...............AU Great to hear you and family are still safe
I've been watching your past videos these past 2 months, this afternoon I found and used one of my grandpa's sharpening stone and practiced on some of his cheap knives. I can understand why you say it's meditative. Since I enjoyed it so much I decided to get the CeraX 1000 stone and the silicon pad as a new hobby to take on. Thanks for the advice and the many donations you do on your channel.
Brooo you're an amazing person. Things like this are what help restore my optimistic view of society! I've had a fondness for cooking & an interest in knives bc of that came naturally. I've been thinking of going through a cooking course, but I'm a veteran & can have school paid for so good luck to whoever gets it !_!
Dear Ryky, My name is William Darman and I found your sharpening videos absolutely indispensable in learning for myself how to sharpen knives. I love to cook and never really had a good pair of knives. Over the whole COVID shutdown I decided to buy some good knives and found your reviews. At first I was just looking for some good knife reviews but after watching some of your videos I decided that I should learn how to sharpen my knives too. The fact that you did it by feel without angle guides was great. You went through the entire process from start to finish and I used your method to sharpen my knives. . I started sharpening on my old stainless steel knives mostly because if I screwed up I knew I was going to get some new ones. I started on a 600/2000 grit whetstone that I already owned and never used. The first knives I sharpened I could not get a good edge simply because I could not get a constant angle. I watched your videos again and saw what I was doing wrong. After I gave it a second try I got my knives so sharp I could shave with them. I ended up sort of becoming a knife geek and bought a good set of Shun knives and I am looking at another set of carbon steel knives. Just so I can round out my growing collection. I have found that I really enjoy keeping my knives sharp. hell I am even saving up for one Bob Kramer carbon steel knife just because they seem so beautiful and useful. I have always enjoyed cooking and have found that now that I know how to keep my knives super sharp it has made all of my slicing and dicing effortless. P.S: I was looking around your channel and came across your critique of the Grodan Ramsay video. And you are correct when he breaks the chicken bone with the knife by slapping it. That is the completely incorrect way to cut a bone. When you prepare a chicken to cut through bones you would always use shears. When you prepare a chicken or any other type poultry you cut through the joints only never bone. You can also use boning shears that are designed to cut through bone. William Darman
Also wanted to add(since I know you'll read it), that I love your channel. I'm just a home cook, and I use traditional European technique and knives, and sharpen using old school burr method, but sharpening is something we have in common, and I would watch if you never said a word. Thanks.
I have excelled in some areas of my life, done well in others and unfortunately been only passable or poor in others. I have an instinct, a somewhat proven theory about greatness. Usually it is accompanied by a degree of unassuming humbleness, a quality you exhibit in spades considering how articulate, artistic, kind, wise and skilled you are. I enjoy your videos not just for the information, but also for your richness in character and your devotion to beauty. You have these qualities so clearly that I can't believe it doesn't also extend to you as a father, a husband and as a citizen. Greatness begins with balance and heart.
What a great act of kindness in this cold world. I've been using the same crap knives for a while. I just sharpen and use the tips you've given. One day I'll buy your knife though. Good luck to whoever gets your educational help.
There are so many people who do well for themselves because of aggressive dominating negative traits, while so many good people with dedication ethics and conscientiousness remain unappreciated, acknowledged and unrewarded both financially and in social status in this world we've created. Some days it just brings me down. But seeing you're channel in general, and the message in this video in particular, makes me happy to know that for once the guy who deserves it succeeded. Thank you for everything you do, Ricky. I admire you greatly.
What a generous and uplifting initiative! I just discovered your videos during the pandemic. They have helped me tremendously!! Best of luck on this fabulous adventure!!
GL with this endeavor and I’m anxiously awaiting your book! Too bad I’m too old to go to culinary school at my age, but I’m enjoying the knife, cutting board, and sharpening kit that I just bought from you! Now all I need are some more knives to replace my full-bolster German knives.
I have been dedicated to learning from you; not just knives and stones, but learning about your spirit. You radiate kindness and generosity. You share yourself and that is a gift to all of us. This video confirms that. Thank you. I cannot offer opportunity to a student, but a few days ago I raised my Patreon support so that your dreams can come true. May you be blessed in all that you do. I cannot do more to help you reach your kind goals. I cannot afford to buy the knife/stone combination now in my cart. So, I will pray for you, and I know that is more powerful than a purchase.
It's nice of you to use your knowledge to help somebody to make a dream come true and help him/her to provide, live and do what the like. Good luck picking someone. And thanks for the update on the dollar video.
What you're doing is not a little thing. For someone it's a life changing moment . Giving someone a chance to become something more that what they are now. It's a beautiful idea.
I'm sure that whoever gets selected will be over the moon with joy when he/she does. From my own experience I can say that for a lot of aspiring cooks out there it's a huge boost to have someone believe in them. What you're doing is wonderful and I hope this grows into something much much more in the future.
Heya, just wanted to say that I am 100% here for that journey! That is such an amazing gift you are giving to someone! You have already given so much! I love Japanese food culture and am looking to buy a knife, I am a student in the UK so will be saving but when I can I'll definitely be buying it from your shop! I wish I could support you more! I wish all the best for your family i hope they get better soon!
I went to your channel last night looking for a new video from you, and here you are! 2months man..you cant do this to us. That being said, I hope the recipient for 'scholarship' truly deserves it. Looking forward to buying your book.
Hey!, glad your Fam is doin better! I've got my new set up going for the 'Inverted Palm Sander' station.. I used to do up to 2k grit, then stone, now, found a better sander with a solid back, and got some 3k, 5k, 7k, and 10k grit paper. (and a square of suede).
#PARTNER So, I worked as a Chef for years, and I respect what you are doing/about to do. Right now, I have my own business. However, it is not Culinary related, except for one thing they enforce in C-school. Cleanliness and proper grooming. Perhaps we can provide some support to your winners with product? PS for screening .. find someone who has been, a Dishwasher. shows dedication to learning beyond handouts, and incurs future respect of a section that is one of the most important aspects. Plus they know the code best.
Thank you for educating me on the knife sharpening process! One day I can’t wait to save up enough money since I just welcomed a beautiful baby girl into my life to buy one of your knives! Your videos have taught me so much information that I catch myself staying up all night so fascinated in the art! 🔪🔪🔪What your doing with the donation is truly inspiring I wish you the best of luck for you and your family this year!
You're a good guy. I'm not a chef nor am I a manager so I'm completely useless to you in this endeavor but I wish you well. It's a beautiful thing to take on.
I was thinking of opening up my own Swedish Cuisine restaurant but seeing a good amount of Gordon Ramsey shows like kitchen nightmares makes me think it’s more of a pipedream. I also don’t want work to kill what I love doing in my spare time/hobby. I love making drinks/food for people especially guests and family. I did mixology in college and can even read people and know what drink would best but their personality/demeanor. Hope your family stays safe and healthy! Love all the knives you show! Hope to have some of good quality someday too, been slowly wearing down the $25 one I got on Amazon before I started watching/subbing your channel.
I bought a Mosfiata 8” chef’s knife before coming across your channel and now in regret after not getting a better build quality for my cutting and chopping as I make a lot of food on the grill, oven, and stovetop. I want to cut through onions like you and the onion responds with “did you just feel a breeze?”
Last class I took at the CIA for a boot camp was making soups :) Made several miso soups along with some consummes and others. I had a lot of fun, but I have only taken week long or weekend courses for specific things on occasion. Unfortunately only the soup class taught me anything formally when it came to Japanese cuisine. Personally, I have always been a hobbyist/enthusiast myself. Maybe 20 years ago I would have jumped on something like this, but I got a different day job. Stuff like this is always cool to see though.
I appreciate what your doing. My wife isnt working and shes in the cooking world but were doing just fine. If I can donate to your cause to help your pocket books out then let me know.
What knife would brand/makers would you recommend over miyabi? I was looking at the birchwood Miyabi chef knives but for that rice point I was thinking maybe a handmade knife alternative.
Bro, awesome idea. Sponsor someone from Indiana about 70 miles south of Chicago. LA has tons of Japanese restaurants but not here. I just bought a gorgeous gyuto from your site. And I make sushi for my family all the time...my step mom is from Tokyo. But still we need a Japanese restaurant here! I am considered a stellar cook by many, but I work in a factory that recycles paper to make egg cartons even though I should probably own a restaurant lol. I know its a long shot, but I have represent Indiana, the least likely spot for a Japanese restaurant lol.
Hi, I'm getting into cooking as a hobby and was wondering if I could as for your help. I am looking to buy 3 knives to start and I have a budget of approximately 250$ per knife. What should I look at getting? Thank you so much for the advice.
Dear Ryky & Burrfectionatos, is the idea still up please? If so, what information should I provide? What should I do to become a possible candidate please? I really love this idea, the 1st thought that came into my mind when I watched and heard it was "oh God! this is a life changing opportunity!"
Great idea. Been in the culinary world for 23 years now. Would have been amazing to find some kind of opportunity like this when I first started out. Good luck with everything!!! I may just invest in your patreon when I can. Would love to help with something great like this.
First I want to say that I love your videos, initiative and human side. I would like to ask for and suggest two videos, the first one about nesmuk knives, I came to know a little about them but if possible, I would like to see what you think about and if you can make an assessment. second, how about making a video about the hardness of knife materials against their sharpening and development. A fan from Brazil
I applaud what you are doing and really enjoy your videos. I sadly didn't find you until until last year so I missed the opportunity to bid on some of the great knives. I am fortunate to have a job but you mentioned that you didn't know how you would pay for it. I can't speak for any of your other viewers but if I may I would like to help by donating $50 or $100 towards your cause. Maybe you can teach more that one person to fish at a time. On another note, I am very new to this type of sharpening but it has always intrigued me. I am about to buy my first system and am looking into something like the lapping film I've seen you use on occasion but am concerned about tearing the film so I was wondering if you would mind sharing whether to sharpen pulling towards the spine or can you sharpen towards the cutting edge on that system?

Sorry for writing mistakes im from Norway
Sent this to my Son. He is very much into Japanese food and culture. He took culinary classes in school but has since lost his motivation. I would like him to find himself and continue on a path that will make him happy.
When you get this more formalized consider the idea of setting up an endowment to help keep this alive for the long term.
Just wanted to say thank you for de-mystifying knife sharpening. You’ve definitely taught me how to “fish” when it comes to knife sharpening and maintenance. Says a lot about your kindness that you want to go even further with helping people. God bless you and your continuing journey!

Picking someone from Homeboy Industries would be a GREAT way to support this AMAZING organization!

I honestly thought you were going to start an online culinary school but wow insanely kind of you to do this!
What a nice way to start the new year. Much respect.
Appreciate the sense of comraderie you create here. Allowing people of lesser opportunity to achieve something great for themselves simply because you have the means is the methodology with which we should all operate. Appreciate you!
Hi Ryky
Just dont know how you do it, so generous and such a beautiful caring family,
Now, I turned 76 so i think my Catering Career has now faded :)
I'll just continue to wear out my cheap chefs knife with my rubbish skills, at least I can get it sharp through your help

Great to hear you and family are still safe
It's great that you're doing this for someone, can't wait to see how it turns out.
I've been watching your past videos these past 2 months, this afternoon I found and used one of my grandpa's sharpening stone and practiced on some of his cheap knives. I can understand why you say it's meditative. Since I enjoyed it so much I decided to get the CeraX 1000 stone and the silicon pad as a new hobby to take on.

Wow that’s so generous. Unbelievable how big of a gift this is.
You're a good, kind man Ryky. May GOD bless you abundantly with all the means to help those in need of a chance.
The video starts, I hear "If you know somebody who loves cocain" im like WHAT? ah ok nevermind
I thought the same thing
😂
Amen, brother. May He bless this endeavor.
Brooo you're an amazing person. Things like this are what help restore my optimistic view of society! I've had a fondness for cooking & an interest in knives bc of that came naturally. I've been thinking of going through a cooking course, but I'm a veteran & can have school paid for so good luck to whoever gets it !_!
You'r giving a such great opportunity for someone to get a career as a chef started.
That's a generous idea. I wish you and the student you choose all the best.
Congratulations for your initiative to help someone who really needs it.

Incredibly awesome gesture. Instead of giving away damaged knives you should sell them as damaged and put the money toward your chefs charity.

Been waiting for your video for awhile man :) This is really inspiring! Wish you all the best for you and your plan man.

Love the things you do and help the world, keep the good work going. I will still try and keep buying a knife from you every month to help out.
You are amazingly generous! I hope the world rewards you 10 fold!
Awesome What your doing for someone that would love a career in Japanese cooking! Culinary School is quite expensive these days! You Are A Good Man !🙏
Glad you're back man. Keep on with all the good work. Best of luck
Thanks for all your teaching on sharpening and knowledge about knives. I learned to sharpen from your videos. Thank you so much!

Just started watching your videos, what an amazing person you are, just subscribed as a knife and sushi enthusiast, I'm glad I found your chanel
Wow, what a great idea! No an easy one, not an unexpensive one, but sure enough a inspiring one! Congratulations.

I went to your channel last night looking for a new video from you, and here you are! 2months man..you cant do this to us. That being said, I hope the recipient for 'scholarship' truly deserves it. Looking forward to buying your book.
Very nice offer. Good luck on finding an honest person to help.
I just wanted to say, "Bravo!", and I wish you every success in this endeavor. Awesome.
You're a good man. Thanks for what you do.
Finally! An answer! Thank you! Wish it was sooner!
Very much looking forward to your book & your informational video’s thank you all the best - Vern
I look forward to your book. I have always collected knives since i was a kid.
Hi Ryky, it's a pleasure to hear from your new plans and you and your family is going well.
WOW this is an amazing opportunity for a well deserving soul!
Amazing initiative! Keep it up man! BTW I recently bought a beautiful Santoku in your shop and the shopping experience was superb. Thank you
That’s an awesome goal! Can’t wait to see the lucky recipient.
Hey!, glad your Fam is doin better! I've got my new set up going for the 'Inverted Palm Sander' station.. I used to do up to 2k grit, then stone, now, found a better sander with a solid back, and got some 3k, 5k, 7k, and 10k grit paper. (and a square of suede).
#PARTNER So, I worked as a Chef for years, and I respect what you are doing/about to do. Right now, I have my own business.

Wishing you the best on your noble journey to help others.
Nice! I'm too old for this. Appreciate your good heart.
This was very helpful I’ll be sure to share with my friends and family
Thank you for educating me on the knife sharpening process! One day I can’t wait to save up enough money since I just welcomed a beautiful baby girl into my life to buy one of your knives! Your videos have taught me so much information that I catch myself staying up all night so fascinated in the art! 🔪🔪🔪What your doing with the donation is truly inspiring I wish you the best of luck for you and your family this year!
I own a stainless steel Wusty chef's knife however I'm looking to upgrade but I'm not sure what to get next. Any suggestions?
You're a good guy. I'm not a chef nor am I a manager so I'm completely useless to you in this endeavor but I wish you well. It's a beautiful thing to take on.
Wish I lived around the LA area. Would love this. Great idea, and hope you can "teach someone to fish"
Ricky, this is an amazing initiative! I am glad I have the chance to be following your channel. You are amazing
What a awesome opportunity for a someone!
May you be blessed richly brother.
Of all the RUclipsrs I follow, you are worth your weight in gold (or Japanese steel 😉 )
It’s great to see you back Ryky!
Up and at it bright and early I see!! Great to see you back, great initiative as well.
Your videos makes me happy.
This sound amazing, as a student its sound for me like a very complex task/situation.
I was thinking of opening up my own Swedish Cuisine restaurant but seeing a good amount of Gordon Ramsey shows like kitchen nightmares makes me think it’s more of a pipedream. I also don’t want work to kill what I love doing in my spare time/hobby. I love making drinks/food for people especially guests and family. I did mixology in college and can even read people and know what drink would best but their personality/demeanor.
Hope your family stays safe and healthy!
Love all the knives you show! Hope to have some of good quality someday too, been slowly wearing down the $25 one I got on Amazon before I started watching/subbing your channel.
I bought a Mosfiata 8” chef’s knife before coming across your channel and now in regret after not getting a better build quality for my cutting and chopping as I make a lot of food on the grill, oven, and stovetop.
I want to cut through onions like you and the onion responds with “did you just feel a breeze?”
Ryky I have a question. Any hints or tips on sharpening shorter blades like a filet, boning orsmaller paring knives?
Last class I took at the CIA for a boot camp was making soups :) Made several miso soups along with some consummes and others. I had a lot of fun, but I have only taken week long or weekend courses for specific things on occasion. Unfortunately only the soup class taught me anything formally when it came to Japanese cuisine. Personally, I have always been a hobbyist/enthusiast myself. Maybe 20 years ago I would have jumped on something like this, but I got a different day job. Stuff like this is always cool to see though.
👏👏👏well done incredible work as always hope everything goes well and 2021 exceeds your expectations
so excited for your book man!
Missed you bro welcome back i hope you enjoyed the time with the family
This is a great initiative. Wishing the lucky person all the best!
I appreciate what your doing. My wife isnt working and shes in the cooking world but were doing just fine. If I can donate to your cause to help your pocket books out then let me know.
Wow this is fantastic Ryky!!
Quite amazing. Good luck with 2021.

Have you heard if koi artisan knives and are they any good any advice would be helpful they seem new only started in 2016 but look nice
Your a good man! God bless!
WOW as always you never stop giving nice one :)
Although it is a difficult time to start a culinary career, it is always good to learn.
Hi, I'm getting into cooking as a hobby and was wondering if I could as for your help. I am looking to buy 3 knives to start and I have a budget of approximately 250$ per knife. What should I look at getting? Thank you so much for the advice.
Dear Ryky & Burrfectionatos, is the idea still up please? If so, what information should I provide? What should I do to become a possible candidate please?
I really love this idea, the 1st thought that came into my mind when I watched and heard it was "oh God! this is a life changing opportunity!"
Subbed, this is so wholesome!
You are a good person and I applaud you and your effort
Great idea. Been in the culinary world for 23 years now. Would have been amazing to find some kind of opportunity like this when I first started out. Good luck with everything!!! I may just invest in your patreon when I can. Would love to help with something great like this.
what stones do you recommend for straight razor honing, if i only want 2!
First I want to say that I love your videos, initiative and human side. I would like to ask for and suggest two videos, the first one about nesmuk knives, I came to know a little about them but if possible, I would like to see what you think about and if you can make an assessment. second, how about making a video about the hardness of knife materials against their sharpening and development.

I applaud what you are doing and really enjoy your videos. I sadly didn't find you until until last year so I missed the opportunity to bid on some of the great knives.
I am fortunate to have a job but you mentioned that you didn't know how you would pay for it. I can't speak for any of your other viewers but if I may I would like to
help by donating $50 or $100 towards your cause. Maybe you can teach more that one person to fish at a time.
On another note, I am very new to this type of sharpening but it has always intrigued me. I am about to buy my first system and am looking into something like the lapping film I've
seen you use on occasion but am concerned about tearing the film so I was wondering if you would mind sharing whether to sharpen pulling towards the spine or can you sharpen towards the cutting edge on that system?
Oke focus in this and the book...both great ideas ❤️
Great!
holy crap that is amazing
I just ordered a Masamoto ks!!!
