A few forumites have gone on a few of the sharpening courses and rave about them, but then a sharp knife is a joy.
Sharpening is stones and steel to keep the blade in tip top condition, then a strop. It is like sharpening a straight edge razor. The shave and sharpening are quite a nice ritual.
On an irrelevant note try and get him to perfect making steamed bao...as they are delicious.
At a guess your friend knows about the chinese/asian cash and carry places like wing yip, hoo hing and Loon Fung.
EDIT Is your friend in to japanese, Chinese or Thai?

I suspect none existent but when he likes something he gets very into it so I’m thinking some sharpening kit to go with it and I’m sure he’ll do a lot of research and learning on his own.
Are a couple different grades of sharpening stones the way to go?
Don’t know anything about this sort of thing myself
