    When I started out as a chef I only had 1 chef knife, so sending it off for sharpening wasn't really an option, so I bought Naniwa pro 1000 & 3000. I couldn't sharpen for shit in the beginning, but it's one of the best things I did, practicing sharpening my own knives. Now after 1.5 years, I'm pretty deft on the stones. Loved the video!

    I worked in a knife store. One day a chef brought in his Shun, and the blade was missing a chunk the diameter of about half a dime. "What did you do?" I cried, "You're a chef, you know how to use these!", to which he replied, "Yes, but my Chinese mother-in-law doesn't." Turns out, she was used to buying five dollar cleavers in Chinatown and then chopping whole chickens up with them. You can guess what she did here.

      That’s why you keep the good ones under lock and key. I have a really nice set of hand forged single bevel Japanese knives that I would put up against anything like this,made of Hitachi blue steel And one of the knives in the set is specifically made much thicker and like a cleaver for doing stuff like that. You would never pick up the knives that are meant for sashimi and chop a chicken bone.

    • @MrBayeasy
      @MrBayeasy 2 года назад

      Grab yourself a mercer genesis or renessance for like 30 bucks if you want a good robust knife, or a tojiro f300 or f301 for like 30 bucks if you want a good Japanese type knife. Those 2 brands, specifically the series I mentioned for each are fantastic value for money and will give you the performance of knives like this, just without the look. Just be mindful if you go with the tojiro the edge will be more delicate much like the knife in the video. So if you do get one make sure you look up how to use it properly so you can avoid damage like you see here. Also if you like this knife check out the Shun Sora line, which essentially has the same high grade steel but with a design similar to a samurai sword finish. It looks good for how simple it is, and can usually be had around 70 or 80.

I haven't had to sharpen mine since I bought it 10 years ago, just some gentle honing. It is however coming up for a needed gentle sharpening since when I first had it you could literally cut a paper thin slice of tomato without even holding it. This video is gold dust for me my man. I'm pretty good at using my whetstones but putting this blade on there is going to take some nerve. Thank you sir.

    Hey Kyle, great video. I keep that same Shun chef's knife sharp with a Wicked Edge sharpener. I'm a machinist, so using an adjustable sharpener seemed a logical choice rather than learning to do it by hand. Just don't ask how much I spent for it. I think it was sharpened @ 17 degrees when I bought it, but 22 degrees seems to stand up better.

    Big respect! That's exactly how a knife that class should be treated. You must have tons of experience holding the correct angle in that amazing speed. Deeply impressed!
    I'm by far not that experienced, so I sharpen my knifes (the same way, but) way slower, also to enjoy the sound of what's happen. Imo the "sound" of the knife on the stone is very underrated. Especially novices should carefully listen to the knife: You can literally hear when the cutting edge slides the stone's surface in the correct angle and 1 stroke at the correct angle is more effective than 3 strokes with incorrect angle.
    My 2 golden rules in knife sharpening:
    1. Precision is more important than speed, also when using the knifes.
    (Practice precision, not speed! Speed will come with experience.)
    2. Might sound stupid, but: the way to always have sharp knifes is to prevent them from getting dull.
    (The more frequently the re-sharpen process is done, the less effort it takes to do it. And the higher the knifes average sharpness is.)
    Btw: I've got some Shun "Classic" knifes and a 300/1000 grit Shun combi stone. The 300 grit side I use for outdoor-knifes or machetes, but 1000 grit side is really useful. And then I also have a 3" x 12" blue "Belgischer Brocken" (around 6000 grit) natural flat stone for the fine polish. Beautiful stone, doesn't need to soak, is inatantly usable with some drops of water.
    2-3 strokes (each side of the knife) over that stone once a week and my knifes stay razor-sharp.

    After my kids moved out I bought all new kitchen tools…. No more finding my best knives in the dishwasher! I bought my wife a set of 9 Shun Kansa knifes with veggie cleaver. For myself… I bought all the dual core Shun including a limited chef knife. NO ONE touches My knives I can tell you. I also have a Mac sushi knife that I struggle to sharpen - because it is so thin and it bends around. I’d love to send it to you to sharpen!

    Wowzers! That's some skill! Amazed that you can work chips out on a stone and still hold the original shape. Assuming this is differenitally hardened (not familiar with Shun) how much hard steel to you have after doing a repair like this?

    Can we just appreciate this guy working with a respirator directly behind you as you work on your knife... probably shooting hazardous particles all around the workshop.

    Shun has a fundamental problem with their heat treat, whole batches come out far more brittle than VG-10 or SG2 should be, like someone blew the temper while over grinding the secondary bevel. Never seen any issues like this on a Tojiro DP series which would have no issues separating chicken joints or removing avocado pits.

      Exactly.
      I too have Tojiros dp3 and they're good.
      HT was done properly.
      The Shun knives have also a bad reputation in German knife forums because poor heat treatment, causing knicks.
      Other knife doesn't have the same issue even using the same VG10 steel.
      To be honest VG10 steel is not difficult to harden with professional equipment( It's an airhardener) .

      no. just no. there is no problem with the knife in any way. the problem is with the person using it!!! they are delicate knives! they are not made for hard and harsh usage. they are made for delicate intricate cutting. people try to use them like they would use a french chef knife. you obviously are one of the people that do the same.....

      @@alexanderscharwachter5263 There's no way Shun could mess up the actual heat treat on VG-10, it has to be a compromised temper from overheating while grinding the secondary bevel. But a steel this relatively soft with mid tier alloy content shouldn't experience carbide fallout like this, it's pretty absurd.

      @@CajunReaper95 Misuse is always going to be an issue, but the culprit with Shun is it's brittleness, there's a difference between a chip from impact and carbide fallout weakening the steel matrix to the point where regular use causes chipping. You won't find this with even thinner ground VG-10 steel knives fro Yu Kurosaki or Tojiro. Shun has a serious QC issue

      @@orion7741 Sweetheart my daily driver is either a Blue #1 Yoshikazu Tanaka forged gyuto or a Teruyasu Fujiwara Denka in Aogami Super @67 HRC that I thinned down to a zero grind with a microbevel, it doesn't get more delicate and intricate than that. Shun by comparison is actually quite thick behind the edge, compared to other VG-10 steel offerings by say Yu Kurosaki, yet they don't experience carbide fallout and chipping under regular use. Shun is Japanese like Taco Bell is Mexican food, they're machine made knives with no substantive connection to Japanese bladesmithing provenance, and they have jack legs at the factory grinding secondary bevels with no attention to heat build up. What's worse is that carbide fallout even occurs with some of Shun's SG2 offerings which should never happen in a PM steel above 62 hrc. I sharpen knives professionally, I understand metallurgy and grinds better than you ever will, VG-10 at such at 60 hrc should not be this brittle, you'll never encounter issues like this with a Tojiro DP series.

    Interesting video. I wondered if you were going to sharpen it the normal way until the chip disappeared or if you would just grind it square to take out the chip, then recreate the bevels from there.

    I have a couple of these Shun knives, they are used all the time . They do suffer from small chips on the edge , if you look at them under magnification you can see them and feel them in the cut . It is something you have to live with a consequence of having such a hard steel . A normal sharpen gets them back to new .

    I really enjoy your videos, your technique is so precise and perfect every time. I learn a lot from you. Thank you for explaining the finer details and making knife sharpening easier to understand. One thing I would like to know though, regarding the paper cutting, is it more the angle of the edge or more the grit of the stone you finish with? Currently I only go up to 1000 grit and the strop. Would it make much of a difference to go 2000 or even 3000 grit? Again, thanks from an avid South African supporter.

    I'm a professional chef who spends too much money on knives. I own knives from lots of different brands/makers; Kai shun, Miyabi, Tojiro, Yu kurosaki - to name a few. I have to say this is an excellent knife, I'd recommend it to anyone. The best thing about it is how easy it is to sharpen. People dont think about that when they buy a knife, but trust me, unless you are a professional blacksmith, it is important. Only downside is the handle is quite large.
