  • This video shows how one of our craftsman polishes a Honyaki Yanagiba (A non-mirror Konosuke) using the traditional Katana polishing method (Japanese Samurai Sword). It was first finished on a 1K synthetic Naniwa Chosera stone before moving oneto several natural stones then finger stones.

    I love watching people know what they’re doing…do it well. Serious question; do you have to be careful using whetstone on the “reverse” non beveled back side? I thought good Yanigabi had subtle concave to release sliced fish (anything) and you wouldn’t want to polish that out? This is new and fascinating for me, an honest straightforward answer appreciated.

    Wow what supreme skills you have sir. I have been restoring straight razors and recently have done one or two Deba and Yanagiba knives and can see from your videos I have so much to learn so please keep up this fantastic work. I use synthetics and natural Japanese stones. One question I would like to ask. Have you ever used a Belgian Coticule stone?
    I recently sent one(traded) to my friend in Osaka city. I think he was quite pleasantly surprised. I use one for finishing straight razors. YT (Japanese Cuisine)

    Why use nugui AND migaki-bera? I like the thought of just the polish without burnishing.

      Sebenarnya gak perlu mau bikin gituin,bakal susah.. aku rekomendasi coba latihan buat Shinogi Line (1 bevel untuk slice horizontal,2 bevel untuk vertikal),Kireha(pakai 900 grit) & koba untuk memperhalus ketajaman(5k-6k-8k dan seterusnya)
      Aku sudah coba shinogi line 2 bevel 17°-25°,kireha & kobe 15° i think .

      I have been sharpening my knives on whetstones for a few years now and I think I am ready to move on to higher grade knives. BTW, I found fingerstones on JNS www.japanesenaturalstones.com/finger-stones-and-naguras/ I wish James could bring them to his site some day

      +Fadi Sarsak It definitely takes skill, but honestly it's really more patience than anything; and if you use finger stones you will inevitably cut yourself. This is a quick mirror polish on a Keijiro Doi Yanagiba - but this is a straight stone polish, no finger stones or polishing substrate which is why there's some satin 1k scratches at the heel where the bevel is flat, and Shapton Pro stones are so hard you don't get much slurry. instagram.com/p/BRhUgKtAXZx/

      @@oo4320 Watching this again and I am thinking that maybe he had a special tool that I am not familiar with. Either that or possibly just sandpaper folded over a tool? I am not sure to be honest with you. Either way, results can be achieved with sandpaper. You will want wet sandpaper, and a really high grit. I would say 8k grit at the least for polishing. I usually use some really high grit paper to clean my carbon knives (6k to 20+k grit). Keep in mind I have higher end knives, but nothing over the $300ish price point. Also I don't really go for the mirror finish, my aim is usually to remove oxidation. The mirror finish does not last long enough for me to deem it worth the time. It does get the job done better than the sabitori "rust erasers" in my opinion. Generally speaking, the higher the grit, the higher the mirror finish. I know there are metal powders that can also be used to help facilitate the mirror finish.

    the music in this video is just so wrong and so off the mark for what is going on in it, that I can't watch it. This kind of video demands a narrative, not crappy and annoying, shitty music background. Forgive my choice of words, but I just can't think of a better way of saying this. The video has something to say, but very few people truly understand the process of what's going on without a narrative.
    Furthermore, there really isn't anything going on worth watching because it is repetitive, making it redundant and boring to watch. If the filmmaker wants us to learn how to sharpen one of these blades, then provide a narrative that explains the process in detail, but don't bore the viewer by making them watch the same thing over and over. Show the process and show the steps sequentially. Explain why they are done the way that the person sharpens the knife. Explain how it works step by step, finishing with the final result. That is what should happen, not this shit... I'm sorry, but I am just a bit pissed off because I'm seeing more and more videos similar to this, with shitty background music that destroys the rhythm of a story and distracts from it.
    If you have to make a video with music, then make the music appropriate to the topic of the film... don't go make a nice film, only to destroy it by arbitrarily throwing in some random piece of shitty music that does nothing to enhance the film. Music should compliment the footage. Music should flow with the footage and lastly, music should only be used to augment the story of a film to keep the attention of a viewer, not drive them off... that is what happened in this film, and numerous other films and what ultimately stopped me... the shitty music. I have no need to watch this film anymore and won't finish watching it because of that shitty background music...

      Since a katana is a convex grind, a belt grinder with MX Micromesh belts is your best bet. If you want an economical option, try the Ken Onion work sharp with the blade grinder attachment, and 1x18" MX Micromesh belts from micro-surface
