Sent 4 knives to Pow Li @ People's park FC 2nd floor. Really regretted my decision haizzz
The knives were sharp after sharpening but they were like kena rape liao then thrown into the gutters... All came back with lots of grinding marks and scratches, I got 1 very nicely polished knife and 1 forged carbon now look like they been thru hell and wrecked but it's sharp
Ok, conclusion and lesson learnt is if you got a good knife that costs $100 and above and U wanna retain it's aesthetics, sharpening services like Pow Li is not for u

Anyone knows where got knife sharpening service? I've got a few kitchen knives $100-200, I've tried those DIY stones and those that you roll the knife in-between the rollers. Nothing seems to sharpened the knife to it's original sharpness when new. The stones need some kind of skills and patience to sharpen but I've neither

Go make your wife very angry.. she will do it free for you..

How do I feel the burr?

Using light pressure, run your fingertips perpendicular across the blade edge. (Always away from the edge, and never towards)

The burr should feel like an extremely thin wire right at the edge of the blade. You'd typically feel it on one side of the blade, not both.

When you're pretty much done with sharpening, start honing on the side without the burr. If you start on the side with the burr, you run the risk of ripping of the wire edge and fracturing the edge (apex), making the knife feel dull again.

Err for the price, might as well just buy a whetstone and learn how to sharpen yourself?

I learnt myself too, watch video, understand the principals and practice loh at home. Main thing is learn to keep hands steady for the consistent angle and haha do not buy a metal angle fixer, the thing will scratch your knife badly

Got a new whetstone last month, just started to experience sharpening but it's not as easy as it seems. Must get the angles right
I'm using a 1000/4000 stone
Are those ceramic or dlc coated honing rod useful?

Yeah 1000/4000 is actually enough to get a sharp knife already. More then this is more like polishing then sharpening.

Honing rod is more for professional chef or at the least hawkers who cook alot and suddenly find knife not sharp enough while cooking and need a quick perk up for slight extra sharpness

Home cook won't even run into this situation.

What is wrong with this video?? I think this guy maybe sponsored (I sure hope so or else...) to feature the 3000 dollars knife.. I look it up now the knife brand website is selling the set for 6000 dollars (USD)

This video have 82M views hor... imagine just 0.01% viewers with money buy it...

Before you fantasize how super duper it is...

It is just VG10 with 33 Layer Damascus, 16 layers each side, core steel is VG10, ... sounds super regular Japanese knives.. on the website says it is from Seki... but the carving on the blade states it is made by maker from Echizen..

This guy usually review tech like iphone.....
