I have a Japanese whetstone and I've been practicing sharpening my knives and watching Youtube videos and I'm still terrible. It's a source of frustration because I'll watching butcher TikTok videos and the way they can slice through meat makes me extremely envious.
Any good Youtube videos in particular that can help me with this, as well as maintaining the sharpness for a long time?
- rashkov 3y agoI learned a lot about sharpening principles from this one: https://youtu.be/EmyW8nFDLr4 https://youtu.be/EmyW8nFDLr4 It’s focused on sharpening woodworking tools but it’s the same ideas for knives
- axpy 3y agoSame here. Sometime it was working nicely, sometime not. I came to the conclusion that I was not sharpening often enough (maybe 1x/month) to be able to hone my skill properly and get the muscle required muscle memory. I finally got one of the sharpening stand contraption that hold the angle for you and it’s been a game changer. It is still very rewarding but without the frustration.
