Nice- Wish I had all the tools.

It didn't seem very sharp though?

Not knowing much about knife making, what is the 'clay' applied to each side and fired? And what effect/purpose does it provide?

I believe they call it the hamon so the edge and the rest of the blade cool at different rates, part of the hardening process.

Watch the tomato= It compresses and doesn't slice to start. It's not even sliced through. The cantaloupe shouldn't compress like it does.

"Sharpening on the slack of the 2x72 with very high grit belt"= Surprising he didn't finish it off with some nice Japanese Water Stones or something.

Yeah, those rice paper thin slices of tomato are really compressing it. Confused
