Hey, you've been testing lots of different stones but you rarely show the edge polish result after each stone. For someone like me who allways like to know all de details about a stone and what it can do, it matters alot. Maybe you make a video with shots of each stone polish results. Would be interesting. Maybe from the coarser stones bellow #1000 does'nt matter much, but from #1000 and up would make sense.
I like it! Thank you. I have the blue belgium brick at home. I really like it. It's compareable to 6000# synthetic stone. It's great to finish my blades at home. I have a pairing nagura for it. It makes a very big difference, if I use the stone with the nagura. The created mud is essential. I don't have the yellow one. This should be finer than the blue (comparabel to an 8000# I think). But If I want to go finer I have my Morihei 9000#.
@@lofotenknifeworks2278 Nice video! Any chance of seeing the 4k on your site? I've read so many people on KKF call it the star of the Morihei lineup(along with the 9k).
I am now currently collection more Natural stones, I like the sizes you got on yours. would you share where you have bought them since each month and year it becomes harder and harder to finde a seller that has real Natural stones.
Another good video. I also have an Okunomon shiro suita that's really hard and it provides the tightest feedback of any stone I've used. It feels like the stone just sucks in the edge when I hit the correct angle helping preventing me from losing it while working on the stone. Without slurry it does suck at polishing wide bevels though being super hard and slippery. Would you recommend the Tsushima black as a medium grit naka-to for edges over other naka-to stones like Iyo-to or aizu?
I totally agree :) as for the tsushima black, I feel like it's alot of stone for the money. I see they tend to be decently cheap, and its kinda like the harder big brother to the green brick of joy from Naniwa, if that makes sense. As for the stones you mentioned, I have no clue 😅 all I know about jns are the ones i have. And that's theese three 😁
Thanks for the reply. I've lost count of the stones I have both synthetic and natural but the thought of trying a new one keeps me interested in the hobby helping me become a better sharpener. Ps. I don't think one needs loads of expensive stones to get a good edge at all but like so many things in life variety keeps things interesting. Keep up the good work 😁. Polishing video next maybe😉
I bought a beautiful brick natural stone from Yoshihiro, and another stone mined from Tokyo. I love those stone i bought, i think those are enough for me for now. I highly recommend you to buy a sharp Pebble flattening stone, it has two grits and trust me that thing will flatten your stone immediately, you'll like it. I have a question, i see multiple sho honyama stones particularly with level 4 and level 4.5 level, what does this mean? Can you please give mea response? Thanks much.
Sho Honyama means true mountain. Stones from the Kyoto area are often sold as Sho Honyama if the mine they originate from is unknown. Otherwise they will be labeled as coming from a specific mine like Nakayama, Ohira, Okudo etc. Level 4 or 4.5 refers to the hardness of the stone and these labels are subjective meaning they don't always correlate between different sellers. Level 4 and above usually refers to hard stones that may or may not be too hard for knives but might be perfect for razors. Harder stones often give finer finishes than the softer ones but not always. Hope this helps
Salut , exellente video ! Si vous le pouvez faites une video sur le coticule belge 👍

I have a nishimono Shirosuita with the same problems. I use micromesh to clean it out.
Un video interesante, unas piedras que tengo ganas de probar, un saludo
