I didn't used to do that. We're gonna do a video on that. I used to use my right hand and just turned the knife over but it took a while to do the other side.
The problem is it's not loading the gear that I want it to load. It's loading certain logos but it doesn't have the logos with my face on it. I think it's a problem with the company called Teespring. They took some logos down and made them inactive. They shouldn't have done that. I have to wait till Monday and talk to them. They don't even provide their phone number easily. We still have a lot to get it worked out but we are working on it.
@@dimmacommunication so you end up with a longer lasting edge, but less sharp. That’s the problem. Once you start exchanging coarseness for smoother edge than the address, so refined and foil like that, you can lose as retention so everyone has to figure out the cutting purpose to figure out what they’re gonna be sharpening it to.
I got a Imanishi 1k to try out based on your results and I must agree, it is an excellent stone with unique feel. It competes with the top 2 or 3 favorite 1k stones I have (from quite a few, Morihei is usually not in these). It is so difficult to make up mind when you get to the best of the best, because it depends on what exactly one is doing, what steel and so on. Perhaps even the mood you're on affects what kind of feedback one may want to feel that day. It takes always a longer period to get to know any stone very well too (like if it gets better wit a nagura, what nagura and so on) I'd say I feel all my knives definately sharper at higher grits than 1k. I never stop there. Morihei 1k seems to leave more kasumi type finish while Imanishi has a more clear scratch pattern. That was the case on one stainless knife that I just polished the flats to 1k level as a test (Imanishi vs Morihei 1k). I prefer the look of Morihei here, even if it is not my top 3 favorite list.
I agree with you that they have different purposes. Feeling has a lot to do with using your stones I mean do you want to enjoy it. It just seems like heaven. But yes, with polishing. I like the Morihei. I’m not the big knife polisher. I gotta work on it.
Good video. In my mind, I always thought that the higher the grit, the sharper. But I always heard people saying 1000 is all you need. I've even experienced knives not even cutting paper after 1000.
Hey buddy, you can see that if you do it with good technique, you could really make a knife sharp with a 1000 grit. We didn’t have much problem with that but there’s levels of sharpness. I will include two links to show you how much sharper you can get. Technique and experience have a lot to do with it but in the end, the science will always show that the cleaner Edge will win. There will be instances in which you would like one a little rougher, especially in fatty food. instagram.com/p/CYacnh3lwmD/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
We share a lot of things. She definitely shares the RUclips channel with me. She has not learned to do the knife personally. I would like her to because I think it’ll give her a greater understanding of certain things but she has seen it so much that I think she understands. She just hasn’t done it yet. You gotta get you a ride or die chick!
Did you get to test any of the diamond stones you showed back a few months ago when you showed off all the stones that were going to go against each other? Think it was some Naniwa resin bonded diamond plates and some other ones. Really curious to see the results of those. I got some Venev plates, but they getting harder to get since they are made in Russia. So would be great to have some other quality options.
I commented on your other statement before I saw this one. You and I are in the same place. I only have the one set of diamond stones. I am going to do diamond versus CBN in a whetstone war, and I’m gonna do the diamond versus a normal Whetstone, as well as the CBN versus a normal Whetstone. We gotta get some more money to make the rest of those things happen.
I would really love to see the arashiyama 1000 vs the kitayama 1000 since both are made by imanishi. I have the arashiyama 6k and kitayama 8k and looking for something to play along side my NP 800 for different steels
OK I’m pretty sure it’s the same stone. You can send me the two different links so we can compare that they’re not the same. Because, like you said, it’s the same company.
I appreciate your comment. Thanks for the support. Right now that’s our only currency. We’re just grinding and trying to entertain you every week. We’re gonna be here a while. God bless!
@@nadm fun fact, I sharpen the knives of a Michelin star chef. He uses German steel knives and I stop on a Naniwa pro 800 and leather strop. He is happy with that.
I recommend King 1000 and 6000 for starters. I prefer single stones over combo. If you've not watched Murray Carter's instructional videos, they are a must for a beginner hand wetstone sharpener. They used to be paid for VHFs, but he put them up on RUclips for free a couple years back. There is the Beginner one and then an Advanced one. The first one is called Blade Sharpening Fundamentals.
I love the way u sharp by the left hand, i still trainning on that
I didn't used to do that. We're gonna do a video on that. I used to use my right hand and just turned the knife over but it took a while to do the other side.
Looks like the store is back up and running. Well done!

plus the 3000 edge will last longer than the toothy edge, which might cut fish skin better for the first few days, but will dull much quicker.
You know, a lot of people don't know that. We're actually gonna be doing a video on that as well. People don't understand that the teeth fall out.
Nope , the longest lasting edge is the 600 grit edge , CATRA tested

@@nadm Absolutely, I generally do 1000-1200

Maybe try this with the naniwa pro 3000. Heard it's like the best 3000 stone out there
I have they’re very old version of the 3000 which is the same Stone you mentioned and I do love it very much. It feels very different.
You should make a battle between suehiro cerax 1000 and king 1000
Thanks
I just don't have the cerax line

@@nadm Greg they are different sizes/weight and different shades of green so maybe different. I wrote you on Instagram with a few links
@@e30Birdy I appreciate you. I haven’t checked yet, but I will. Thank you so much.
Watching Greg's fingers millimeters away from that blade.
Yes!!

That's funny. I'm sure a Michelin star chef would figure out a way to use those blueberries.

How many of us are contently watching the blueberry test?😄
Yes!
Aloha Greg and to the Mrs
Aloha my friend.
Awesome video 👍am looking for great starter kit under $90, any Recommendations?

Wow OK that's challenging. Probably going to be king.
