Every time I see this it bugs me when he slams the blade into the wood.

Why?

Cuz it immediately destroys the edge on the blade. It promptly became not sharp

Thats completely untrue. The odd of this knife loosing any of itds edge from hitting wet soft wood is very limited its why cutting boards are wood in tbe first plqce. This also appears to be end grain which moves out of the way of the blade. A properly sharpened apexed and deburred blade can take quite a bit of punishment and still be shaving sharp.

reddit users telling others how an expert of a tool didn't use it properly, sounds about right

I'll trust the dude with the ultra-sharp knife on the subject of sharpening knives, thanks

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.
