Is there any way I could get to a basic regime? I can read Japanese and can figure out I think what the bits are for.

 

 

 

Yes.  I recommend finding a really good pro sharpener who offers classes.  For instance, Bob Kramer taught Bob Tate here in Seattle, and he teaches classes to mortals.

 

My dad was a butcher, and I bladesmith as a hobby, so I know sharp.  But either you have the touch, or you don't.  Despite having a basement full of all the $$ and $$$ stones, belt grinders, microtome parphenalia, etc., I mostly don't have it.  An hour with a skilled pro sharpener should determine if you do.  If so, knock yourself out.  If not, pay the pro to do it once a year.  No powered wheels like Chef's Choice...
