Thank you! Perfect guide that helped me sharpen my laminated santoku, takes some practice but your explanations are great!!
Glad it helped!
Among so many crappy yt sharpening videos it's always good to find someone teaching good technique.
I've tested two different thinning methods. One exactly as you said and the other one you lay flat the knife on the stone and adjust the grinding spot by putting pressure near the edge.
Your method works way faster and creates a slight convex profile that reduce resistance because of food adhesion.
5 degrees takes more effort but final result is better than 8 in my opinion.
Thank you for sharing your findings, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
As always a very helpful video. Thank you Naoto.
Thanks Grant!
What a goldmine of information, thank you
I'm glad to hear it!
Niiiice. I just got a tojiro so this is perfect.
Right on!
i like to use the old razor trick for thinning a knife with no primary or shinogi. get your roll of electrical tape and put a few layers in taco formation around the spine of the knife and then just go to town. Loved the video brother, and im about to order my second knife.
That's a great tip, thanks for the love!
taco formation? explanation for geographical outsider please
The scratch pattern is quite pretty imo.
Great video and thanks for the effort. What is the machine in the background on the very left? I am looking for a japanese whetstone machine which runs the stone vertically; like a Tormek but with a lager and wider stone. Thanks a lot.
It's similar to a Tormek! Just a different brand
Can u show how to sharp 70/30 bevel
Thank you!! I did this to my Shun chef knife a while back, would have been nice to see your video first, but I was pretty close to your technique I think. Got a range of sandpapers and was almost able to bring back the mirror finish! 🤙
That's awesome, great work!
