So i went through some stuff. But no need to worry, Im doing fine and i have now made more space in my life do do things i love. Making videos is one of those. This one felt a bit rushed, but i really wanted to get it out there to get some momentum.
I have moved the workbench to make room for my bike, so if any of you are zwifters, let me know :)
For this video im getting out some of my least used stones for some fun, and im trying a finnish slate for the first time.
Happy New Year, Steffen! Great video as usually, buddy! 👌🔥🔪
Happy New Year good to see a new video! Been looking forward to seeing them. Thanks!
miyagoshi would be interesting stone to try one day. I have a large collection that is missing that brand totally. It seems to be difficult to get in europe though.
I wonder how well they do with more difficult steel types as well.
I'll eventually get to harder steels. I'm in Norway myself, and I had to order a batch from them directly to get them
The Miyagoshi reminds me a bit of the Suehiro 220 "pink brick". That one is also very thirsty. Is there a large difference between the two?
The miyagoshi 220 grit looks and behaves like the imanishi 220? Great vid btw nice to see you back
Happy newyear! Another great video! Those miyagoshi’s look fun. How hard is the 220? Compared to say shapton 120 or suehiro 180? Would it work as a thinning stone?
I haven't done any scientific examination, but the miyagoshi feels softer than both the shapton 320 and suehiro 180. I would not use it for thinning. I would go shapton 120 first, and the I might consider this one to soften the scratches, but I would feel more comfortable using harder stones up to 1k before starting on softer ones for thinning and polishing :)
Wrapping the bottom half of stones that drink a lot of water with plastic wrap can keep them from drying out so quickly. It can get annoying to have to add water constantly.
Thanks for the tip :) will definately give it a go
Morihei!
Im missing just a few stones for the whole series. would be so nice to do a video on the complete thing though.
@@lofotenknifeworks2278you have the Morihei in the video title 😢
Morihei stones feel so nice but for more difficult steels (powers or very hard) they are of low use. Not the fastest stones on the planet for any steel but for the ones they work well they really feel nice. I think I have a whole series that includes 500, 1k, 4k, 6k, 8k (9k) and 12k. I'd say 500, 4k and 6k seem nicer than the rest of them. I'd consider 9k more like a different series stone but it is very nice too.
For all steels including difficult like say very hard, S30V etc you're better off with something that is more powerfull. For carbon steels those are a joy to use.
Omg. I cought it. I definately rushed this one a bit, thanks for the heads up, its now fixed :)
Out of the blue question, but how tall are you? 😅
Wondering because i noticed your arms sit at an almost 90° angle so I can't understand if you're shorter than me or the work tops in Northern Europe are actually taller or if it's just an urban legend 😂😂
I'm about 168cm short 😁
@@lofotenknifeworks2278 man, I seriously need to get something to raise my stones when sharpening. I work at an almost 180° angle if I stand upright
@@sacoto98 that sounds painful. its important to find some arrangement that suits you and your body. Especially if you are sharpening a lot of knives
@@lofotenknifeworks2278 for sure. I don't sharpen a lot of knives, only my own. Main problem is the angle consistency when my arms are so stretched out. My brain has the tendency of compensating by rotating the wrist which messes up the angle if I'm not hyper concentrated on maintaining it
Happy New Year!
