Finding the bevel on a single bevel knife is a no brainer. It's almost half of the front side. Lay the bevel flat on the stone. You should be able to comfortably hold the knife with two or three fingers of the left hand. Proceed as usual.

  • What about sharpening a deba?

    If you sharpen the bevel flat against the stone, the edge will be too weak for some of the things a deba is used for, like beheading large fish and breaking the head.

    Can you tell me about how to find the right angle for the bevel of a deba?

  • The angle of the deba is set at the factory. The bevel is still held flat against the stone. This assumes, of course, that you're talking about a traditional, Japanese styled, single bevel deba.

  • To not get prints on the knife so he doesn't have to clean it before it's sold?

  • One question, why are you using gloves? personally I like to feel the metal while I sharpen, but If there is any reason, of wear gloves let us know.

  • very nice

    I think you must have learned from a good japanese teacher.

  • also i cant plug my own material as i dont have any...YOUR vid watch counts will go up since YOUR vids are featured with others in my playlist..

  • 1st off it was posted to broaden peoples horizons and provide information. i really dont think it is nonsense as i enjoyed all the videos i have collected in a playlist to share as much as i enjoy your video.i appologize if i have offended you, i meant only to provide you and other people here with other useful knowledge after sifting through so many unworthy videos.2nd i thought the purpose of youtube was helping and sharing and learning.again, my deepest appologies, i didnt mean to offend you.

  • You're replying with the same damned nonsense to every one of my vids. You're only writing to plug your own material, which is the definition of spam.

    If I wanted a load of crap, i'd squeeze your head.
