- I am on vacation in at the moment, staying at the home of my mom and brother who live in Sanur, here on the island of Gods, Bali.
I was sent these Indonesian Natural Whetstones from Bogor, West Java.
Obviously I don't have my complete sharpening set-up with me, nor any quality steel blades. So I just used the stones for some edge sharpening on two of my moms crappy stainless steels, for a quick impression.
When I get back home in Amsterdam, I will put these stones through the wringer and test them on better steels, compare them to other stones, and attempt to do a Kasumi finish with the higher grit stones.

I bought a Keskin black migaki from our friends KKID and I must say, Indonesia has been blowing me away with their quality recently, Thanks for sharing this video I'll definitely be buying some of these stones soon.
Nice, yeah...I understand. I have purchased a Honyaki Gyuto from KKID. The Leaf Spring Steel is pretty nice and the wood work is impressive. The level of craftsmanship is high.
These INW are also pretty nice. Going to sharpen an SG2 blade with them today for a guy who lives on Bali and has nowhere to go (as far as I know there's no reputable sharpener/sharpening service on Bali yet).

@@chefknivesenthusiastBro, Indonesian here. Could you enlighten me on Leaf Spring Steel (Besi Per), almost all knifesmith here uses this steel. But none of them know the HRC of that steel.
If you can provide some information on that, it would be very helpful on seeing the value of Indonesian local knife craft.
@Lokesvararaja I have no idea. 🤷🏽♂️
I've been curious about these - thank you for the insights!
Edge sharpening is going very well and easy on these. Will do another video relatively soon. I'm curious to see if the higher grits are usable for polishing as well.
@@chefknivesenthusiast I can't wait! Thank you for your videos. Always excited when I see one pop up! 👍
@@GibsonCutleryare you interested in Indonesian natural Whetstone?
so where is the update on this?
Life is what happens when I'm busy making CZcams videos. I had little to no time for making CZcams videos this year.
And I first want to make a few other videos. About knives.
But I will do another video with these stones one day.
@franzb69 maybe interested in Indonesian natural Whetstone?
Are they recommended for Japanese high Carbon Aogami or Shirogami?
I have only put these two crappy stainless steel knives on these stones, since I am on vacation and not at home. But I know other people who have put super hard Aogami and Shirogami steel on these stones and made them extremely sharp. As I say in my video, when I get back in Amsterdam, I'll do another video. This was just my quick, first impression.
What to buy: Isamitsu Shirogami #1 Nakiri or Mutsumi Hinoura nakiri or?
So many great options. Steer towards the knife that fits you.
@@chefknivesenthusiast Thanks for no help with my online shopping😆
Personally, I love Shirogami#1 steel. You have to know how to deal with such reactive steel, but if you do...it's super steel. Mutsumi learned from one of the best, his father Tsukasa. What to consider more? Do you like Nakiri's with a large flatspot or with a bit of a curve and rounded edge at the tip? What type of finish do you prefer, kurouchi, tsuchime, nashiji, damascus, migaki? I have not used either knife myself, so I can't provide an opinion from first-hand experience or decide for you which one fits you best. I also don't know who you are, what type of cook you are, in what type of work environment you cook, what your level of skill and technique is. So I could only tell you which one I would pick, not which one you should pick. What works great for me might not be a snug fit for you.
Are you interested in Indonesian natural Whetstone?
@@naturalwhetstone8100 i could be. But my knowledge on naturalstone is very limited. So it should be for learning..
Is there a good place to purchase these from ???
Apparently, there are other sellers for these stones. But I got them from him.
