Their website could use some clarity. There are numerous types of stones, and the descriptions aren't very clear. I'm specifically looking for stones compatible with HAP 40 and ZDP 189 knives.
Very informative. Could you please specify which extra coarse nagura you are using for resurfacing the stone after the flattening step? I do use some NSK Oboro myself, and while they excel in hardness and precision, the tactile feedback is not very pleasant (at least for me). I presume the nagura step would impart an additional grittiness to the surface, which would be beneficial in that regard.
I see you are expert in this ,I've a question for you , I've a japanese sharpening stone King 1000-6000 entry level, can I flatten it using wooden block wrapped in coarse sand paper, will it work? Or DMT stone Fine/Coarse Regards!
Hello thank you, yes theoretically this will work but we would recommend first insure that the wood block surface that you will be using to wrap the sandpaper in is flat. And that that you are using a wet/dry or wet type sandpaper.
Normally NSK Kogyo diamond stones are made with 3mm+ diamond abrasive . This is relatively thick abrasive, as most other diamond stones are 1mm or less. (Some of the ones used by Ivan may be thicker than that due to prototyping)
@@komonjapan yeah that’s my main problem with resin bomb to diamond stones so don’t trust that you’re gonna last very long I have a couple other ones and they lasted me a good long while but this one looks like it will last a long time
@@lordstick3113 Wear of sharpening stones is one of the problems that sharpeners like you are always faced with. NSK Kogyo sharpening stones are thicker, cut faster, and are harder than the Hakuto series, especially for the Oboro Knife, so they will surely solve that problem.
