hi everyone! first off, this video is less of a tutorial and more of a demonstration. it didn't totally turn out the way i wanted it to, but it is what it is. secondly, murray carter makes amazing knives and this one is one of my favourite knives to use. ok, so i'm sharpening a wide beveled murray carter gyuto on the scary sharp system. the scary sharp system basically started out as sharpening on sand paper. now we have 3m micro film to play with, and it comes in an array of grit sizes ranging from 80 micron down to .3 micron. now, this video shows how a wide beveled knife is sharpened. knife makers like takeda, moritaka, yoshikane, shigefusa make gyuto's, nakiri's, santoku's and other knives with big grinds, and this is how i personally sharpen them. i usually don't use the scary sharp system to sharpen these knives, but for some unknown reason, i felt compelled to. i originally wanted to sharpen a cleaver on it. HOW TO USE SCARY SHARP SYSTEM: ======================================== ==== ok, so how i usually sharpen with these papers is very similar to how i use japanese waterstones. i move up the grit ladder until i'm finished polishing the knife. simple. typically, i'll count the number of strokes i make on each side of the knife so that there's an even grind on both sides. usually i'll start out with 15 strokes on each side, check for burr. (if there isn't then i'll do 15 strokes on each side untill there is.) if there's a burr then i'll go 13 on each side. then 10 ...
