Need your brutal honesty!!: What was your biggest struggle when you first got a Japanese knife?

Hi, everyone!! How are you doing?? I'm Yuichiro! I'm currently based in Japan and working on a project to help foreigners who use Japanese carbon steel knives and have problems with maintenance.

I know Japanese knives are amazing but they can be also high-maintenance for first-timers... I want to understand the real pain points people face!

For example..

・Did you struggle with sharpening a Japanese knife?

・Did you accidentally chip the edge on something? etc..

Anything is fine!! Tell me your story and experience. It would be super helpful.

Thanks!
