This is long and don't feel the requirement to watch the whole thing. However, it is what it is, I needed to discuss certain aspects of knife edge maintenance and I found it difficult to shorten the narrative.
Remember, you have a lot of options in keeping your knives sharp, first and foremost is the act of getting it sharpened in the first place. You either do it yourself or have someone do it professionally and not somewhere that uses a grinder of any type.
If you call a place and they tell you that they have very expensive equipment....run.
If you call a person and they tell you that they use Japanese Water Stones, pat yourself on the back for finding the individual, contain your excitement and then take your knives to that person.
Edge maintenance is part of cycle, your edge maintenance may just be having me sharpen your knives once every 2 months, thats fine.
I see a lot of knives that have been abused by a Steel, folks who stubbornly insist that all they need to do is use a Steel and that is just plain incorrect. You need to have the metal removed eventually, but anything you can do in the meantime, in between sharpening on stones may be of benefit.
I hope you enjoyed the video and if so, thank you for watching. If you didn't enjoy it and watched it, thanks for watching.
