Japanese Knife Imports, together with SIEBOLD PICTURES, presents our first knife sharpening video. In this video, we will thin, sharpen, and convex an Aritsugu A-Type 240mm Wa-Gyuto. I sharpen this knife to a 99/1 ratio for a right handed user.

Nice vid dude.

Those water stones look really messy and a lot of trouble. I use natural Arkansas Ouchita stones.
-
@natri23 it depends on what kind of steel the knife is and how hard it is, but in general i am not a huge fan of steeling knives

What do you think about using ceramic rod to touch up the blade and remove the wire-edge?

There's more then one way to correctly sharpen a knife, but this guy definately knows what he's doing. Good vid.
I'm curious to know why you bother flattening the stone for a convex grind?
Doesn't a curved stone make a better curved edge?
:P

@Sekrf i say convex, but what i really mean is hamaguri. Hamaguri edges are actually complex bevels with two flat bevels that are then blended together... a curved stone makes this much for difficult to do well.

What kind of stone is used for sharpening and how fine is each one? How much are these sharpening stones are? Does this work on any knife or just japanese knives?

@808MAUIpnoi74 the stone types and grits are listed in the videos... funny thing is i no longer use most of those stones... i've switched to other stones at this point... you can check out more under the JKnifeImports youtube channel... thats where we've moved to

Do you recommend the splash-n-go glass stones, like a Shapton, for a beginner? I was recently given a 1000mesh, can't wait to start practicing my technique and getting a proper edge. Was looking at a 4000 or 6000 stone as well for finer polishing.

@silvermediastudio I'm not a big fan of shapton stones, but it doesnt mean they arent good stones. I personally find them more suited to razors and wood working tools than knives. I've tried a good number of them and just dont like the feeling and tactile feedback from those stones.
