Whetstone Sharpening Review of IKKYU Shin Nagura Synthetic Stones | Kitchen Tools
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июн 2023
- In this video, I test 3 (1K, 3K, 6K) Ikkyu Shin Nagura whetstones. Synthetic whetstones supposedly made to feel like Japanese natural stones. Let's see if that description pans out.
Now this isn't the place to come for sharpening tips as there are far better sharpeners out there like Zach Peters from @TokushuKnife or Greg from @nadm. I do my best to showcase how the stones performed on two different types of steel (carbon and stainless) using opinions already formed from our friends over at @chefsedge4952.
These stones were provided to me by Rocky from H&K LLC at no cost. But as usual, opinions are my own.

Nice to see some new stones. Would love to see them polish. I’m glad the logo didn’t get washed off because it’s so beautiful. I would probably turn the stones over to retain the logo but luckily they were there. Good stuff.
Happy to give their polishing properties a go. Yeah if the stones are soaked, no matter how I orient them the ink will start to seep away. Some are said to be splash and go, in which case I can just turn it over. I simply wanted to mimic what Chefs Edge did but I'll be trying them as splash and go too.
Interesting stuff. Never have heard of these before.
You will Sunday baby.
Stropping knives on your jeans can lead to embarrassing nicknames like "Stumpy."
It would be embarrassing because then, you would know they stropped it wrong. :(
Another great video thanks!
Thanks buddy
Great vid Franki👏
A couple of noob questions, are you putting pressure on the push or pull or both?
Whats in the bottle that you are squirting on the stones?
Do you have a discount code to purchase these stones and finally did you cut your lip😜
No such things as noob questions my friend. I like to apply pressure when the knife is pushed away from me, lightening up on the pull. I have more control this way. In the bottle is just some plain H2O. No discount code unfortunately but you can get these exact stones from Chefs Edge Australia or contact Rocky at H&K LLC and he may have better prices I'm not sure.
Those are not easy to come by but very good. Not the best for my taste but very good. Especially the 1k is very unique in feeling with some nice sandy feedback.
I've found they need a bit of flattening but after a few cycles you get the real feed. 3k indeed has some tendency to clog, more so if you don't open it up with diamond plate or whatever.. I had good luck with about any nagura I tried.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It is super helpful for people here to read the opinions of many. Really appreciate it and the additional insight as well.
What nagura would you recommend? I have been thinking of getting one
Good question. I’m not that well versed with sharpening stuff yet. Not as well versed as @nadm that is. I know there’s specific ones one can use depending on stone grit and to use one as close to stone grit as possible. One I used in the video was just the one they had a Knifewear at the time.
So are these stones soaking stones or can you also use them as splash and go?
Great question. I'll have to go back and check the manufacturer's pamphlet to be exact, but some are said to be splash and go of these 3 where some were recommended to be soaked. Ultimately I just ended up trying exactly what Chefs Edge did so I can compare. I'm going to check the pamphlet and get back to you on specifics.
I'd say semi splash&go. The first spash may be absorbed but after 2 or 3 they work just fine. I never see the need to soak mine.
Quelle belle horloge merci
