Finally stared sharpening with whetstones a couple months ago after years and years of being intimidated that I couldn’t keep a steady hand.
Loved it so much I ended up getting a few Chosera’s and haven’t looked back. Now I tell my friends to just bring over any knives they want sharpened.
Great news! Always worth people pushing through
Glad I found this channel I use my stones for woodworking tools. Having bought a couple Japanese knives I have not touched them. I will definitely look at your other videos to learn more about natural stones.
Glad the videos will be of help! Any requests let me know :)
Knifemaker here. Overall good info. Hope not to sound "know it allish" but if your looking for non soaking stones search "splash and' go" and it would be almost impossible and i say "almost" in the least likely EVER of scenarios that you can ruin your temper sharpening by hand without water you'd have to get your blade above 600 degree Fahrenheit with hand friction alone. That being said, use your stones wet people! There's still good reasons to do so. I love your videos on jnats. Big fan, hope i didn't come off the wrong way
Appreciate the input! I actually think one of the previous takes of this video I had brought up that phrase but maybe I left it out in this final version. I've heard from a lot of people you can impact the temper at the very edge with dry stone, but I'm not an authority on it for sure. Most importantly, stone dust of any kind isn't what we want to be dealing with so I agree - everyone should be using water. Glad you like the videos and never be afraid to post additional knowledge!
@@naturalwhetstones do you happen to sell any stones? I'd love to get a good / cleaner suita around the 3.5 to 4.0 hardness range that doesn't leave scratches when polishing a hamon or cladding line
Love it, per usual. This gentleman really knows his stuff, if you’re new to knives/sharpening, listen to him.
lmao "if you have a honing rod made of steel, throw it in the garbage". in seriousness tho, helpful intro video. will def check out king for the full stones starting off!
Thank you for considering the newbies and their budgets!
Great begginer video. Pretty solid sharpening theory, the only thing I disagree is how to remove burr. I'll check out your other videos later.
For removing a stubborn burr on stone I like to do edge leading strokes only, raise the angle a bit and apply very low pressure to avoid flipping the burr. Doing this way it's quite easy to remove the macroscopic burr from soft steel.
The reason I avoided that suggestion for the beginner video is a lot of people will dig into the stone with edge leading until they get good angle control. I would hope most people when they gain some proficiency would then look up more advanced techniques. Eventually I will do a regular sharpening video which would cover that. :)
What stone did you use on this video Greg?
The synth is a king 1000/6000, the natural stone is a Takashima Tomae.
