This video features two knife experts using a Tormek. Oneof them is Thomas Ericksson, grandson of one of the founders of Morakniv.

I was having a strong feeling of "deja vu". I think this is why :

Good point. I had forgotten about my 2024 post. The video can stand on its own merits.

Isn't it surprising that he said that the grinding direction doesn't matter? I've been told that the direction against the edge gives shorter burr that's easier to remove, rather than longer burr on gets from grinding away from the edge. Maybe it's splitting hairs in the context?

I have one of theses Mora carving knifes, they are a joy to use and extremely sharp when new, way sharper than the ordinary Moras, also very easy to sharpen and maintain.

Nice video, thanks!
