Glad you enjoyed it.

I think it’s easy to take the bait on this one because we all wish we could eliminate or at least greatly reduce the time we spend on sharpening. I think that’s how some sharpening gadgets and systems sell so well. I’ve been “sold” more times than I’d care to admit.

In the broader picture, there are the fantasies that woodworking can be quick and easy if you just buy this/do this/etc. Even Dr. Insano can’t do that.

Honestly as someone who only discovered and started practising “fine” woodworking seriously a year or two ago, and is finally pretty proud of my sharpening skills…. I was livid! after all the hours I put in honing my technique (I’ll show myself out for that one) now sharp edges would be available to all!? It was with a nervous chuckle and a sigh of relief that I finished the article.
Well done.
Owen

And just for the record, the post is entirely made up, as the Japanese portion clearly indicates! Any resemblance of the proper nouns to reality is entirely coincidental.

A nice Yellow steel would be wonderful as it would match all of my DeWalt equipment !

??

Perhaps a quick (first) name change was in order to protect his identity, as well as his relocation to Honolulu following his induction into witness protection. Rumor has it that “Dr. Sano” first cultivated the idea during his days as a dentist serving the black market dentistry community in downtown Tokyo. He was supposedly flown to Honolulu under new cover to protect him against the accusations and threats levied against him by the rival steelmakers in Sheffield. How he let himself get posted on Yelp I have no idea, and I hope that anyone reading this comment section will not blame me for exposing his dubious cover.
