Can you guys tell the cameraman to zoom in a little bit more? I can't see the atoms on the edge of the knife clearly.

bro this is just part of the show but cropped... its impossible to see anything when its so close up/cropped/zoomed in

[MawoDuffer]

This works like a leather strop for a razor. you straighten the edge that has rolled over from use. You need to use a stone eventually.

Honestly, I wanted to see techniques to keep the blade from dulling so much when you cut different things

Great video on keeping your knives sharp for your home chef, just saying as a hobbyist knife maker, this is a okay way to keep your cheaper knives sharp, but every now and then refinishing the edge with a sharpening stone is essential as this is the same in comparison as to using a chainsaw to cut a tree the thickness of your thumb.
DO NOT USE THIS METHOD FOR YOUR JAPANESE KNIVES, FIND A PROFESSIONAL FOR THE JOB. This method will chip your higher end steel as is hard wich also increases it's brittleness and destroys the structure microscopically.
Refinishing with a knife steel is okay, I just recommend a ceramic one for the same job for knives between the ranges of 100-150€, if you want to keep the structure of the blade correct as this really is something that can be done only to a certain point, after that the knife needs to be honed or reground in worst case.
Also it is not a pressure thing, it is moving the small burr
Doing it this way works, but will never do the same job as sending your knives for honing, using a ceramic dowel or a oak plank with a grinding compound with every technique mr Ramsey says, refinishing the burr just. The burr can be retouched for a long time with easier methods. Chefs Knives are sharpened usually at 15-25°, so if you have a really nice knife, please do get it the correct treatment it needs.
If you have a 150€ knife, it will cost 150€ to maintain it for the next ten years if you do not sharpen it at home, and that is the investment in a knife like that, but it is worth it. Hopefully this helps someone and saves maybe even a few highend knives

Please I need some more zoom, I couldn't quite catch the pores of Gordon's face

[sacrom]

thank god for the zoom and crop, i can now tell the chemical formula for the metal of the knife

Everyone, watch alton brown's video on knife sharpening. Gordon's great at food, but Alton's great at explaining things.

Gordon honing a knife
“Where the fucking sharpening”

[Zipfei_Kloatscher]

"Confident grip, stroke, release the tension..." 😂👍🏻

You need diamond-encrusted steel or a whetstone. A honing knife only straightens the edges which are still useful but doesn't sharpen anything.

[TriangleTrinity]

Thank goodness for the camera man or I wouldn’t be able to see the molecules of the steel

[TomsGotPowers]

This is not how you sharpen a knife. This just realigns the edge.

[AssasinFX]

Honing rods are great but only straighten the knife. You're better off using a whetstone to actually sharpen it.

[conjandysecurity]

When you ran the edge of the blade into the butt of the steel I could feel it get sharper.

Next time, just add top and bottom borders to the horizontal video so it fits vertical format. This zoom is unflatteringly close, I can't imagine Gordon is happy with you, editor.

Words of wisdom!!
The secret to keeping your knife sharp, SHARPEN IT!!!!

[tummytub]

Sharp knifes are awesome, I cut of my finger and they could just sow it back on and it still works perfectly.

A sharp knife is a safe knife ladies and gentlemen. Remember that.

[shemmy]

Interesting because this tool is not for sharpening dull knives. It's for making sharp knives straight. Definitely works for sharp that are barely sharp. However if you knife is dull you need a sharpening stone.
