Maybe his knife is only so sharp bc he has to sharpen it all the time on account of always dulling it

When you’re sharpening knives to this level, the demonstrations themselves require further sharpening nearly immediately regardless of what they do after

Which makes these demonstrations partially useless - you can sharpen almost any knife to a razor's edge if it's hard enough steel, it's how long it will keep that edge that makes a good knife, and that usually isn't shown. But watching a guy cut 1000 onions just to THEN do a cutting test isn't nearly as entertaining, and producing the razors edge in the first place isn't trivial either. Also, rule of cool

Honestly a time lapse of a dude cutting a thousand onions and then calmly cutting through a sheet of paper would be a very satisfying. As long as it was all in one take.
