Would love to see more videos like this in the future.
This video just talked me out of getting natural stones
Very straightforward info... definitely helps when you remove a lot of the jargon...much as when first approaching wine...the language used by some is intimating... though useful to those who understand it...it leaves newcomers out in the cold...
Great video!!!
I bought two koppa after watching this video! Thank you for this awesome content, can't wait to try them 🙂 ( SHOUBUDANI 370-420 & AIIWATANI 380-420)
Have fun!
My setup
King 300
Chosera 800
Imanishi Natural Aoto somewhere around 2k to 3k
Roszutec Natural that gets me to just over 6500 in Japanese Grit
Big fan of the 800 Chocera and Aoto as well!! We have a few natural Aoto on the harder side that have been fun to work with too.
Which stone are your favourite between Shobudani and aiwatani
What are the dimensions of the aiwatani?
Are good for a aogami 2 steel?
There is a few variables to be mindful of such as the smith's treatment of Aogami and the natural stone you pair with it, but overall we've had great success sharpening Aogami 1 & 2 (and even Aogami Super, though it can be a bit more finicky) on softer natural stones around 3-4 hardness. Honestly, finding an affordable options like one of our short or irregular sized assorted stones is a great way to dip your toe in the natural stone water without spending hella $$$ to see if you like the results on your knife. Feel free to send us an email at info @ bernalcutlery .com if you would like some recomedations.
Maybe you meant for the video to say polishing rather than sharpening? You did talk briefly about sharpening but really you spent the video polishing. Still a nice primer to things and I always send people your way for first stones as I think your grading is accurate and sides/prices are reasonable. Maybe for an actual sharpening video showing how the swarf generates for different hardness/fineness/fastness would be valuable rather than the polishing aspect.
No sharpening, at all :) But great premlimary JNAT info. Thank you.
To over complicated explanation keep things simple
