Behind the Filming (Episode 13): Macro Photography with Knives

One of the ways that BG wanted to differentiate our knife sharpening video from all the other run-of-the-mill knife sharpening videos on YouTube was to include some incremental macro shots that show the progression of the knife's edge after it was sharpened with increasingly finer grits of whetstones.

Well, we have done just that. And the results are rather impressive.

We've made a compelling case for using whetstones, especially when you compare the edge of a pairing knife that was "sharpened" with a Wusthoff "knife sharpener."

With that, we celebrate the release of Episode 13 and get ready for some upcoming episodes that will focus on food again.

Happy Summer, All!
