Post your knife comments, questions, and opinions.
I'll start: do you normally do your own uraoshi or do you expect the store to handle that service for you? If you don't let the store do it, why not?

I don't buy single bevel, so no, but also It doesn't really matter to me on the knives that I do buy. I tend to do a slightly more acute angle on the offhand side, but prefer double bevel, and almost no one does that normally, so I'm just used to not really liking the edge until I put one on.

What are these holes for

Those are autism holes.

Seriously, though, I like some of the knives that guy has made, but that shit right there has stopped me from making a purchase more than once.
I'm guessing that was his experiment in creating a blade that food doesn't stick to. I'm all for experimentation, but selling your experiments and making them a luxury item is crazy IMO.

They used the extra material to make the second knife.

Why are there so many people who don't do their own sharpening, or dont even know how? Or worse they just buy a new knife once the old one is dull?

Because learning new things without someone holding my hand is difficult and takes actual effort as well as a real time investment, and a small monetary investment for the proper sharpening equipment.
I personally just spend the $15 for my local knife shop to sharpen my knives whenever they need it.

It takes all of five minutes to watch a youtube video on sharpening, and you can buy a more than decent two-grit combo water stone for the price of having your knives sharpened twice ...
I buy a $3 ceramic knife every month, superb sharpness. Only a poorfag buys metal.

I had a ceramic knife once, too. Little ceramic shards kept breaking out of the edge, no matter how much I babied it. I disliked the idea of those razor sharp shard being pushed through my gastro-intestinal tract. And I also like the glass hard, absolutely unelastic feelof the balde. Apart from that, throwing a way a knife once a month is a terrible wast, and I'm not necessarily talking about just money.

sorry, of course I meant I DIS-liked the glass hard, unelastic feel of the blade.

ceramic knives are impressive if you've never used an actually sharp knife
