I would walk down the street in sleepy vally arkansas not too far from hot springs(right next door) and walk down the road a bit and on the right is a bunch of rocks that break flat naturally into whetstone.
@redflower801 Never seen the white lapping plate before but the black powder is silicon carbide, its used as an extra abrasive to speed up flattening. They sell it both in the US and Europe, for example Dieter Schmid's fine-tools
@redflower801 You're welcome, but no need to go overboard with really expensive natural stones. It depends on what your needs are. A King 1000/6000 combo stone might be all you need if you only plan on sharpening your kitchen knives. Or... if your a sharpening geek like myself, you can shop around for all kinds of interesting stones. But the results will depend more on your skill and experience than on expensive stones. Good Luck!
@JayWayze , I'm with you sharpening geek, you can not have enough sharpening stones of every type and size. I want a large lapping plate like that white one he is using (Must be ceramic). You can not sharpen if your stone is hollow. Why are all the stones in the west little ones, then you see Japanese clips and they have these beautiful monster stones 12-14 inches long and 4-5 inches wide.All the best. PS If you want a laugh view the Gordon Ramsey clip on how to sharpen a knife.
Ohayo gozaimasu! These fancy items are cool, but me and all my Japanese teachers and sempai either level our stones on flat sidewalk behind the restaurant or buy a $0.97 cinder block from Home Depot. Forget spending $20.00 on a Japanese "stone fixer". That's for suckers. Oh! Always remember to grind the sides of your stone as Itasan does here. Also, you don't need to polish your knives like mirrors. 12k grit makes beautiful shiny blades, but try sakudori with a mirrored blade and see how
@dutchomatic I agree with you I believe It is possible to get a knife too smooth, there is a point where extra work decreases the performance.Ultra sharp knives have lost all the microserations that bite into things like tomato skin and the fiberous material around joints. Great for cutting paper and impressing people but little else. 6000 or 8000 is more than enough. Under a microscope there are still serations. Plane blades on the other hand need to be as smooth as possible to push through .
Probaby a very fine abrasive(but harder than either of the two stones). It's used in stone flattening quite often. The fine abrasive helps cut the stone a little faster so that way your flattening stone isn't stuck doing all the work wearing it out faster. Not always necessary, but this guy knows what he is doing.
I personally use a 325g diamond plate, but I also use synthetic water stones. Sure the diamond plate will wear out over time, but I'm lazy and it seems easier.
私はただ単にコンクリートブロックに砥石を当ててゴリゴリしてます。
家庭で使う包丁の砥石なんでこれで行けてます。

砥石がある程度凹んだら手入れはするよね。

プロの方は毎日包丁を研いでいると思うのですが、今回の砥石の手入れはどのくらいの頻度で行っているのでしょうか。

fast your knife gets stuck in the loins. 1k to 3k is best in a working daidokoro. Hope this helps!

It's iron powder.
He says that he can easily flat whetstones with the powder.
