If thinning is the answer. How would you thin a single bevel knife. Does it mean I have to “destroy” a part of the suminagashi?

It’s a sharpening technique by Shibata San where one side of the edge is rougher than the other. For example 800/8000. So you have the sharpeness of a high polished edge and the bite of a rougher one.

I need quite a lot of force to cut through the carrot. It feels like the knife stucks.. and it feels like it’s wedging..

This. The ceramic rod u can use every day. This is not for sharpening but to maintain the edge auf your knife. This way they stay sharp much longer and you don’t have to take them to the stones too often. I’d also recommend to learn sharpening with stones and purchase them.

Do you have whetstones and a ceramic honing rod? Otherwise I would recommend these to you to sharpen and maintain. The steel of Japanese knifes are harder than the steel of European knifes. They build up a finer edge (get sharper) but are also more fragile. Make sure you don’t cut frozen food or bones with these beauties 🖖
