@Darkshadow222 no, do not take one of these to a katana. the edge of a katan should never have a bevel, it should blend in with the entire blade, to polish(sharpen) a katan you need to work then entire blade until you reveal the edge, not just sharpen the edge alone. they have completely different geometry for cutting

@viper2788 using this on a katana is not like putting $100 tires on a ferrari, it's like trying to drive a ferrari without tires at all. you would ruin the entire sword, they aren't made to sharpen at all like medieval sword or modern knives.
-
@QouqaTube no for the shape of the edge of the katana itself
-
DO NOT TRY THIS ON KATANAS,ONLY EUROPEAN STYLE SWORDS

i wouldnt recommend sharpening a katana this way if you want to get the most out of your blade. no doubt this will get your blade sharp, but edge retention just wont be too great. you either want fine grit stones or sandpaper with a perfectly flat surface to give it a polish as well as a good edge. using this method on a decent katana is like putting $100 tires on a ferrari... get the most out of your swords guys, if applicable.

@Darkshadow222 And can I also sharpen katanas like this also?
-
For the people who use these or know how to sharpen blades the right way...Can I use the method he's using with an accusharp? Like the comments said, take it nice and slow right? Or should I use something else? I tried looking for whetstones everywhere, and can't seem to find any for sale.

I can use this on a katana?
Just so I'm clear, you spent 20 minutes on a sword, then cut 4-5 inch diameter tatami easily, and there are people below saying you did it wrong?

It WILL destroy katana edge geometry by creating a secondary bevel =( Works fine on European style middle age long swords though =)
