Whoa. I ate a weed gummy and somehow went from googling “make dull knife sharp” to end up here - learning how to sharpen and hone razor sharp blades like Hattori Hanzo with $500 natural Japanese Nakayama Jnat stones. Great informative video! 🤙

I love the look of that tsushima nagura. It reminds me of a khao men thai stone that I have. Have you used one of those before? how does it compare with the tsushima nagura?

Why is a stone cut into a block so soothing 😮

I heard a lot of people have been using the mountain cashew laquer they sell now is just as good as the japanese cashew look into it if you havent already

thank for the information! i am very new to japanese natural stone ,but now i think i got a wrong one…

some people are cutting a line down the middle of their nagaras for suction is that safe im trying find out but nobody says anything.. they use a hacksaw for a very small groove (1 sixteenth inch) and use the edges of diamond atoma stone to round it off and smoothen it down the middle of the nagara. They are doing it with their synthetic nagaras also and using the same synthetic grit nagara on the synthetic water stones for slur (tomo nagara) supposedly the suction makes a better slur. Is this true? Have you tried it? Can anyone confirm this theory? Tomo's are by far the best way to medicate and dress any stone even synthetic stones if you can. It is how they did it even back in the samurai days on stones.. Tomo's (pieces from the same natural stone or even the same stone grit on synthetic water stones) creates the slur how its supposed to perform. Supposedly the samurai's in theory thought tomo's were the way also. I love your VOD's bro keep it up man they are very good

Im a huge fan dude keep up the good work you are very very informative!!! I have a few questions for you if you don't mind? I bought an ohira tomae Jnat from a friend that works at a cutlery out here in LA called Yoshihiro. He Had a rare red one that has red streaks on the top, bottom and sides he said it was the rarest one he had. I trust him ive done a lot of business with him. Im new to naturals as you can tell. I have 2 atoma tsuboman's with handles the 140 and 400. First question is which of the 2 would you use for flattening and leveling this stone? Second question is I bought some watco laquer they have 3 brands in spray a satin and 2 other ones for sale. I bought the satin one is that safe to spray on this stone in 3 coats? Last question is after I seal up this stone is it safe to soak it like my cerax stones until the bubbles or a bad idea to get better performance out of it. I just do not want to mess this stone up I love it already. Please let me know

Food grade mineral oil works great and doesn't smell or go rancid.

I really enjoy sharpening on my washitas. I tend to use very light pressure and I have a wide variety of washitas from very fast to several that are very dense and pass light almost as well as a translucent. They produce a nice knife edge especially with antique carbon steel and if I need to take it to a more refined edge I move to one of my translucents. I own a couple of black arks but for me the deciding factor is my ability to see the steel removed on the translucent and the fact that I can't see the difference in the edge between black and translucent.

Very good language : ) Thank you!

What is the new video going to be about?

With the arkansas stones you can use a mixture of dishsoap & water if you don't want to use oil.

Will have to buy and try.

Здравствуйте, я для ножей использую Бинсуй, Айзу, Охира Сиро Суита Ренгэ, и еще у меня есть красный редкий Иромоно Что еще можете посоветовать из мягких камней для ножей???

Can you post a link for that plate that you have your stone holder on? Thx.

Hii may I know what knife were you using?the brand and model . Thanksss

dude, I envy you guys over there , it cost the British buyer silly money to get some quality stones shipped over here,

How are the natural stones constructed? Like the mint chocolate one looked like it had beautiful amber wood sides and a mint chocolate frosting. When I see Finnish natural sharpening stones like phyllite, it's that grey, slightly shiny and with some patterns depending on the cut, somewhat homogenous slab of stone.

Would be cool if they open the mine. With modern equipment it should be more safe to operate.

So its like hipster version of binsui?

Could you use cyanoacryllic glue (super glue) for this?

FYI: its Novaculite not Noviculite. Cool stone. I just met the owner of the property last weekend where most of it comes from if not all. I brought back a few hundred pounds for flintknapping. I did buy several oil stones of different varieties so thanks much for the info. Cant wait to try them. I have been using Japanese waterstones but gonna try something new.

Hello, is the book you mention by Iwasaki about naguras available on the internet?

Thanks for taking the time and effort to produce this video. I'm just tipping my toe into natural stones and I appreciate this information. I have to say, that poor nakiri must be getting seriously thin BTE and after this exercise, I'm sure the geometry is becoming right hand biased!

Hello, sorry to bother but will you make any new videos?

Where I can buy that stone?

i bought an ikarashi but mine is green. i got it from jns website. do you have any familiarity as to why mine would be a green hue? is it a different stone?

I watched the whole video and as someone who straight razor shaves the next step is stropping. Whether I go to a .5 micron bar or on to 30k diamond paste on a strop I have found all of this is meaningless. I know this because I have put my razors under my microscope and well, stones are one thing but we shave off the strop. It doesn’t look like you are a regular straight razor shaver and more of a salesman.

Would this work with synthetic stones? I hsve a gesshin 400 XL i love but unfortunately it is really thirsty.

Is it the camera angle or is that the biggest set of stones iv ever seen.

Curious - are the fully dried and hardened cashew lacquer clumps salvageable at all, if you soak them long enough in turpentine oil?

I just came back from Osaka and one of the highlights of the trip was stopping at kitchen supply store and finding a bin of budget scraps of natural stones that I didn't have much information on. This video helped me get an idea, thanks!

Number 1 fan ❤❤❤

I wish I can give more than one like for this video - outstanding amount of information and thorough analysis 🧐. Very well done 👍🏻 and thanks for all the good work

Is there any Ikarashi you've seen that has an excessive amount of Enshou on the surfaces?

If there's no visible Gotogi or Masame to go off of is it possible for all surfacea of the stone (top, bottom and sides) to be used?

Again, I highly appreciate everything about this video.🙏🏾👏🏽

I highly appreciate your JNAT videos! 👌🏽🙇🏽‍♂️

Hi just a quick one, aiiwatani koppa is worth to try?

Great video, quick one. What # atoma are you using? Is it #140 - #3000, from #3000 above atoma #400 correct?

Very interesting. Seems perfect for general carpentry chisels and plane blades. Using water means rust! So using oil is always a bonus.

Excelente , gracias !!😊

Thank you for this! I've been using my tsushima nagura benchstone incorrectly it seems. I have this and a umajiyama namito. would preceding both with a 2k synthetic be sufficient as a complete progression?

Super informative man. Just got this stone and was going to do a review. Was just fact checking a few things so this was insanely helpful, thank you!

I've been into knife sharpening (primarily Japanese knives) for over 25 years but I've never heard of these stones. Thanks for demonstrating the Hindostan family of Anats.

awesome video as always!! thanks for being an in depth english speaking jnat reviewer in the specifity of knives. A lot of youtubers speak about jnats, but most are in regards to straight razor honing with very hard / fine finishing stones

Where are these sharpening stones sold , from whom ?

Selamünaleyküm hayırlı huzurlu mutlu akşamlar diliyorum güzel insan bu taşın boyutu eni yüksekliği kaç cm ve kaç gritlik birde fiyat alabilir miyim lütfen şimdiden teşekkür ederim hayırlı yayınlar olsun güzel insan selamlar sevgiler saygılar sunuyorum Abdullah Menevse adına AnkaraKurdu ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you very much for breaking it down in depth🙏 I wish they would be easier to find and price is ridiculous... Sure it should not be compared but in my humble opinion synthetic stones performs better on extremely hard alloyed steels like hap40 zdp189 or sg2... But shirogami#2 and ohira tomae is unbeatable combination❤
