I own a few Japanese knives as a home cook. Game changer. I call them my useable works of art. You really are a master with the Usuba. I mostly use my Nakiri’s. I have two. I get a professional to sharpen.

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

That's nice! I guess your knives look so beautiful! Thank you very much. Nakiri is very useful to make a home cook. That's good. Actually it's a bit difficult to keep the knife sharp well.

Hello Sensei, Ryusei! Ive alway been curious about your knives and when i woke up i was suprised to see this video! Im working a a chef at a Japanese restaurant in the Philippines but we dont use any of these knives, only me. I bring them to work and i try to practice those techniques, but its not always perfect. Now i know how to maintain these knives better! If i may ask, what whenstone do you use for your knives? Do you use any higher number of stones? Thank you for your time! Domo Arigato Gozaimas!

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

You're welcome! And thank you for watching and your comment. I'm really glad you enjoyed this video. That's so nice!! These practices elevate your technicques more and more! And I use only the number of 1000, it's called "Nakato" in japanese. Some professinal chefa use over 6000. In the future, I'll try to use it! Thank you for your question! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me:) Arigato Gozaimasu!!

What grit of whetstone are you useing? By the way, I have left handed Yanagi and Deba knives.

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

I use middle grit, number 1000. That's nice! Thank you for watching and your comment!!

[@JLawL]

I lived in Japan for 16 years and the entire time I lived there I did all my cooking with a Chinese vegetable cleaver. Oops 😂

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

Hahaha😆 That's also nice! Chinese knives are good and convenient as well! If you have a chance, please try a japanese knife too!! Thank you for watching!!

[@admanios]

This was super informative. Thank you, Ryusei! I'm left-handed, so most of these knives would not work so well for me... 🥲

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

I’m very happy this video was informative for you! Oh, your left-hand! In fact, Japanese lives are almost for right hand, but I hope you’ll find best knives for left hand!!
