I love cooking and preparing with very sharp knives, and it does make the process better. However, I'm just a home cook and can't afford to pay those prices for a knife I only use once and a while. Great video though 😇

Japanese chef knives are expensive, but they are well worth it. They are handcrafted from extremely high quality steel, giving them a sharpness and durability that few other knives can match.

Not all Japanese knives yse Stainless steel. Many use carbon steel as well due to it being inexpensive, but also tough, and capable of meeting different hardnesses for different needs. The most common quality Stainless Steel in Japanese from I've found is typically VG10.

I never knew that there was a difference between Japanese razor sharp and American razor sharp...
I do know about the cutting surface...
The proverbial cutting board will dull the blade just after the first pass...
Placing parchment paper (maybe two or three layers) on the cutting board will extend the life of the razor edge by a gillion years.
Cooking shows and high end knife dealers are so pretentious.
If an American knife gets dull, Ceramic Sticks will restore the edge in less than a minute...
If a Japanese knife gets dull, it will require hours of wet stones to restore the edge (due to the high carbon content.)

I love Japanese products, but is this a commercial or what? Just get a sharpener and move on with your life. If you ever buy something like that, just make sure you don't cut your fingers.
