Sharpen Your Skills | Japanese Knife Workshop in Kyoto

[@Mark_Nadams]

Skill will come with practice and experience. What took me a while to realize is the timing of pressure points for sharpening, when to press and when not to press. Final strop will make for super sharp knife.

Did this in October 2024. You get to choose a knife to keep that you will learn to sharpen on. Recommend doing this before you buy any knives as you will learn so much about quality knives and upkeep. Great Kyoto experience Book in advance as it is becoming very popular

[@Beca_Tries]

@@Speedgullx agreed to all of the above!

[@roospike]

Learning knife sharpening takes muscle memory and muscle memory is developed by practice and with that it's just going to take time. ✌😊

[@Beca_Tries]

@@roospike agreed!

That's so cool Beca! Next time my wife and I go to Japan I want to try this out

[@Beca_Tries]

@@IAmTM06 I hope y’all do! It’s a bit pricy but when you see and feel the quality of the knives it makes total sense plus it’s fun 😆

[@apock6115]

Code; up, up, down, down, left, right left, right, b, a. Hopefully I won't forget 😆

[@Beca_Tries]
