おー！ 我々が普段使っている砥石ですね(^_^)

[ODoyleRulz]

Gotta catch em' all!

Nice collection, but in option is overkill. All you need is max 3 stones

ex. 500 -1200 - 6000/8000 + leather strop.

I'm currently using Bester 1200 + Leather strop( with green compound). I've get really nice results when sharpening various steels, like; M2, 1095, Blue Super, 19c27 or VG-10

@710HS You are correct for a layman who only wants to sharpen a knife and no more. If you have special Japanese layered or clad san-mai knives and want "misting" or "frosting" on the sides or want to show off the hamon on a blade then certain stones (naturals mostly) work better on certain steels for this appearance side of sharpening. But just to cut with and everyday use I agree. I only use my naniwa 2k green brick and shapton 5k followed by a strop loaded with green oxide from HandAmerican.

oh so much, I'm jeolous

[skil1977]

please tell me where i can buy stones like those

[paintdataint]

get Arkansas stones. sooo much better.

[jedirifleman]

@paintdataint You must be stupid. You can sharpen 10 knives on waterstones in the time it takes to get 1 sharp knife on an arkansas stone. But if you got all day to lay around in your mom's basement then fine, you may be onto something to kill all your spare time.

[1IamLegend2]

Can German knives be sharpen on Japanese water stones?

[MrBillTroop73]

Yes, I sharpen my Messermeisters all the time.

[sangkanjaya]

go to korin store in new york or mutual trading in new jersey and LA or just go to their web sites

[sagethemanslayer]

where can i get some from

[jedirifleman]

got mine at THE JAPAN WOODWORKER. Shapton stones are the best for ease of use...they dont need soaking like other brands...norton-king-tiger-dra­gon-lobster-ice bear etc. The shaptons are spray or dunk and go...good idea to get a flattening stone too to keep your stones flat and true and keep the edges beveled to prevent pressure flaking.

[MrBillTroop73]

I used to work there.
