Naniwa Aotoshi, "green brick of joy". One stone sharpening session 

This is one of the rare vidios that tell downsides of rust erasers. I've also found the medium (white markings) one can leave particles behind. The fine one (with red markings) leaves no or lot less particles, buy if you clean a long time only with it, it seems to leave rubbery residue that destroys feedback. This can be very clear with harder stones like shapton glass stones whren there is no mud or wearing to remove/clean the surface. I find Naniwa aoto quite capable stone but quite slow, has tendency to load on surface and soft enough to not tolerate mistakes in technique with edge leading strokes. One can shave off slices quite easily. I prefer faster stones and separate 1-2k and 3-4k for similar edge. I find the feedback quite average at most too with green brick. An interesting stone but not the one for me to prefer.

Picked up this stone this week, been ogling it for years and I'm really glad I finally got one. Great vid man.

Very interesting vid. I'm getting to a situation where I anticipate that my sharpening will consist mostly of touching up a variety of knives that have fallen short of perfect sharpness, but aren't in any way truly dull. This stone, as far as I know, would be useful for a lot of that, and would last quite a few years. What you're doing shows a variety of ways you can use this stone and that's very, very helpful.

I totally agree this is the one to go for knive maintenance!

Green Brick.

Thank you for your video with great information. I just got this stone today and sharpened one knife with it. It was quite fun. Came here to check my experience against others and my experience is quite similar to yours. I tried the rust eraser and a nagura to get some slurry too and had to wash it of because of some coarser particles too. I ended up using a atoma 600 for that. I had expected the stone to cut faster but maybe that will come over time. I'm looking forward to use this stone more. I like the edge with quite a bite it produces.

Great video man. Clean cut just with stone. Good to see there's many good sharpening channels in English. In Portuguese its a mess. Most videos they teach to sharpen at 40 degrees and using a honing rod, its painfull to watch. lol.

Looks good mate soon 100 subs to awesome mate 😁

I'm getting curious toward the Shapton 2000 , considering I've been doing 400/1000 sharpening with diamond stones ( with great results,super cheap also using chinese diamond stones)

shapton pro 2k vs naniwa green brick 2k? It looks really polished , wish there was closeup

What kind of stone did you use to dull your knife as well as to create the slurry? Im pretty much learning on knife sharpening so I don't know much about the equipment. Thanks in advance
