Sharpening a Nakiri 

Here is my full process. I use a 2k nsk oboro stone to set the bevel here but I often use the naniwa pro 3k for that too.
I then use a coticule, a natural sharpening stone from Belgium, and I boost it with a little piece of coticule to make slurry.
I finish on leather with nothing.
I cut a piece of tissue paper to test the edge.
Ready to go!
Don't over sharpen your knives. Coarse stones can give a toothy edge but it can also wear the knife more quickly. 2k grit is a nice balance for edges with teeth without grinding your knife too much, mean thickening the blade too fast. When the blade is thin you need a really quick job to sharpen the edge. Even on the coticule I could have spent a little less time.
