The BEST and WORST Ways to Test Knife Sharpness

At Knifewear, we test the edges of Japanese kitchen knives all day, every day. We usually test knife edges on newspaper or phonebook paper, but what's the best way to check how sharp your knife is? In this video, we demonstrate the Pros and Cons of testing knife edges on tissue paper, a BESS tester, printer paper, plus tomatoes, carrots, sweet potato, onion, and more!
