築地正本包丁研ぎ実演 Tsukiji Masamoto Knife-Sharpening Demo Session

12th Annual Japanese Food & Restaurant Show @ Mutual Trading Co, LA, Calif., Oct 22, 2000:

Every year, Hocho (Japanese for "kitchen knife") Master Hirano from Tokyo's Tsukiji Masamoto knife company gives a demo and lectures on knife-sharpening and care, then he personalizes the knives that customers purchased by skillfully etching their names on the knives with only a hammer and a chisel. The engaging demo and seminars are always a popular crowd-pleaser. Mr. Hirano is an extraordinary craftsman, and this video is in real-time. The speed at which Mr. Hirano works is not enhanced. He is really super-fast, with a delicate touch and an eye for perfection!

It has taken me over 11 years to finally share this video with you all. To begin, I must first thank my girlfriend Michelle.
