Yep, I learned that lesson the hard way too... xD
Fortunately, it wasn't with expensive japanese knifes, just a relatively cheap high carbon knife I got just to see the difference in sharpness.
To be honest, they are kinda scary. It just cuts so easy that you can't avoid think what if your finger was in the way... :P
But great tips and great video Greg, thanks for sharing!
By the way, semi related, during your research did you come by kiwami japan's channel? If you haven't, you should take a look... just for the fun of it.

He makes knives out of everything, and because of a pretty masterful sharpening technique, they all come out cutting like heck. xD
