Subject: sharpening knives
I was recently gifted with a knife from Miura Knives. I know basic care, but was going to ask them about sharpening. Turns out they have a video. In that video they revealed I need to sharpen to 15deg bevel. But it was interesting to watch. He removed a lot of metal on his whetstone. But maybe his knife was duller than I ever allow ours to get.

I'm always worried about my bevel. I try to hold it at a uniform angle, but it's tricky. I have no doubt my hands waver a bit as I move the knife across the stone. How can they not? I'm not a machine. I did find it interesting that he sharpened the knife in sections. I have always used the tip to hilt stroke.
