Don't forget to rinse and wipe the knife after sharpening, before using it...

Watching Mino in his videos is a joyful antidote to all that seems so wrong in the current world. I just can’t help smiling with happiness when watching him. Oh and the knives are pretty awesome as well. 😊

Great sharpener, but 6-8 times means forward and backward as one. So 12-16 total swipes on the stone.

I have Global and Sabatier knofe

I use serrated knife for slicing meat and smooth knife for slicing bread. What you gonna do.

Thank you Master 🙏

Boa Tarde a onde consigo comprar este kit de facas. Abraço John

I bought it, i tried with a blur knife but it couldn't get it sharp, had to sharpen it up, then it could, BUT I still had to use a horning rod, if you had put another keramisk hjul på, ville den få det sidste touch

Fortunate to have seen your video on knife sharpening skills. Best regards

all mine does is blunten knives---useless device

Very honest knives, very respectful man.Value for money

My little sister just passed away and in her tiny flat she had a set of 21 global knives in the case that I was left. I don’t think she ever really used them as she had her go to cheap knives. I’m exactly the same and it does seem a shame these amazing tools don’t get to work in a proper kitchen like they should . Learning about mr global and his passion was so cool .

Why did you skip the ceramic rod, that's what I have with my set lol, it would have been nice to get an overview of that to..

I went through 3 different $20 pull-through sharpeners of various brands. All give sub-par results and eventually go blunt making them useless. My brother who knows how to sharpen knives by hand professionally advised to me by "Minosharp 3 Stage Ceramic Water Sharpener". He uses this instead of hand sharpening now. I got one for $40 usd on ebay. It makes sharpening easy and effective and the knives stay sharp longer.

This is gentlemen is the most wholesome person i have watched on youtube in a longtime, humanity must protect him at all costs.

Why has he got a horn growing out of his head in the thumbnail? You would think with all his access to sharp knives he would cut it off 😂

How is it possible that i had the same gestures as him whithout seeing any sharpening videos ever? I feel like a master now haha ,even if i didn't had the same tools or repeat the process 4-5 times.

Dulles up my global g2 knife and even scratched up the sides. Piece of junk

Awesome sharpener, I just use in place of a honing rod and it keeps them very sharp. Then once a year I’ll give them a proper sharpen

What numbers to buy for the whetstone? For house use buy 400/3000, 600/4000 or 1000/8000? Thank you.

That knife sounds sharp af

sir, why your stone is moving? I see it is not stable.

How do you clean the ceramic wheel stones after they build-up deposits?

Sharpening the knife on the chopping board then cutting tomato without cleaning from grit.Disgusting.Higiene zero.

Those guards are bullshit they scratch the knife

How would I email mr global so say thanks for such good knoves he has made?

man those are great stones!

I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm kzbin.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.

I have been a proud owner of the same set of Global knives for over 15 years and I used my chefs knives every since. Never a problem, never a bad cut ....ever. Thank you Tsuchida san❤

So much respect and love for the Nippon culture!

Can you sharpen serrated knives using the ceramic water sharpener

16:20 this is true, i first saw a global knife in Belgium in late 90's, i had never see something cutting things like this before.

Any time I hear an old Japanese man give a class like this, I always pay attention because I know I am in the presence of greatness and a grandmaster who is highly dedicated and highly experienced. 🇯🇵

Western chef-style knives usually have a hardness around 55-58 HRC. Japanese knives around 62-65 HRC. This makes Japanese knives harder to sharpen, but also means they will retain their edge longer. The relative softness of Western knives is the reason you see chefs using a honing steel to touch up their blades frequently.

Best sharpening knife video ever

I followed this method exactly with my favourite blade and the difference is astounding. I can finally chop my onions into dust

Contrary to popular belief, a honing rod hones the edge of the blade, it does not sharpen it. It only seam so because the cutting edge gets realigned.

These are perfect for me I had mine for years until the wheels got tiny 😃 now getting another

Seems like too much work, and what’s a stern

I bought one many decades ago when they first came to the UK, they were of course premium quality, looked radically different and expensive but perhaps not as expensive when they first came here they were something of a premium bargain… two decades later I am still using the very same knife and added others to it. Great tools.

thanks this helped

Great video, thank you very much! And I really love his point: no need to discuss which method is better, we stick to our culture!! 😂

when my friends can over, the ended up with the best.

I picked him up in my taxi in Sheffield England ,he was dressed in a white puff jacket with matching tracksuit bottoms ,he looked like Michelin man ,one of the nicest men I have ever met

Thank you very much for the clear instructions.

Thank you... This video has helped me make a decision on what brand knife to go with. There are so many brands and companies out there, and the task to pick one is daunting, especially without purchasing from them all, but this video was heart warming and very human. I now want to give Global brand a try.

i know the knives are from japan, but the stereotypical 'japanese' music doesn't add anything to this. instead, it's too loud and overbearing. maybe go with something more subtle and not so stereotypical.

A link to that cutting board is what I want xD
