Likeable explanation and presentation. You might be able to get a cheap knife sharper than an expensive one, but that sharpness won't last longer than a few cuts. That's where hardness comes in, a harder blade not only can get sharper because you can whet in a more shallow (14-17°) angle than a softer blade, it will also maintain that sharpness longer - as opposed to what is said in the video at 2:58 - than a softer-steel blade sharpened in a steeper (20-22°) angle. Also the process of polishing the edge on leather is called stropping, not "strobing".
Hey Gary, good eye. Ideally i should, but i left my cleaning stone in my old house and haven't been able to replace it yet. The stones you see here are the ones I use at home, they're not the greatest, relatively cheap but still get the job done. The ones I use at the restaurant is of a higher grade from Japan and I notice it doesn't erode as massively as the ones here.

This video is very adorable. I really enjoyed it! Very thorough with how much it covers!
Thanks so much for dropping by! It's makes me very happy and motivated that people do enjoy these videos
U havent told us which “brand” of whetstone or from which seller to buy from. Any recommendations?
Where to get those wet stones?
Hardware shops, but generally online... LAZADAAAAAAA
... whetstones* - from "to whet" = "to sharpen, not from "wet", even though they have to soak in water before use.
Yea your stones is like curvball you need flat stone if you want sharp knife
I see you don’t flatten your sharping stone ?
