Meh... And that shit can definitely be automated eventually....

[Doombrain]

Love it. So happy I've been able to see some of Japan.

Not to this extreme level of detail. Worthy of mention and a good read if too long. Oops, I see he was born in Hawaii

I've done a fair bit of traveling the past few years and it's the one place I constantly desire to go back to...

can't be automated by definition

[scared?]

Sure it can, and automation will make this shit look like pathetic child's play... Most likely in our life times... Well at least mine...

I'd really like to visit Japan someday

[ALMighty]

Cool. Lovely nature shots as well. Seems like a nice play to live.

Looked up the dude in the first video, and his prices seem pretty reasonable too.

Some lovely things there, and would make nice presents as well as being nice to own.

I own a Masakage Yuki 240mm Gyuto, they're handcrafted in Japan and every single one of their knives is sharpened by the same person before leaving their premises. It's insanely sharp, and rather beautiful .

gorgeous knife

I'm not jealous at all, no sir.

A good knife is a blessing in the kitchen Was funny, friend of mine is a good cook, he goes mental with his skills once every while and it's awesome. Makes like, smoked things and roasts entire pigs and so on, crazy. So i casually asked him what kind of knife he preferred, to which he answered something like 'whuh why?'. Turns out he used little shitty knives and had never considered how that might be unpractical. A few months later he did some stuff for our house, also being a carpenter, and i gave him a good knife as a thank you. He was so amazed at how great it was, funny stuff

Sounds like a great practical gift to give to him, especially when you can reap the reward of lots of great sounding food . If he hasn't got one make sure he gets a whetstone to sharpen it (a sharpening steel doesn't actually sharpen, just maintains an edge). I use a Naniwa Combination Stone and Eden Ceramic Sharpening Steel from https://www.knivesandtools.nl/ - it was cheaper to buy it from the Dutch store than the UK one for me.



I used to have a Global knife which was great but one day just snapped at the handle whilst I was using it and sliced my finger - I fell out with Global after that happened!

whoa that is one heck of a crafted-to-perfection knife!

rather beautiful? lol that thing is most def a thing of beauty !

15 degree edge yea i bet it is sharp like a son of a gun!

so many of the Japan items have both function AND form.

i am a huge fan of that type of passion

Recently sharpened all our kitchen knives after probably close to 10 years of being used... god damnit is kitchening so much easier now when my knives can cut through basically anything with zero effort. I'm almost scared to use them now
