  • That was a very good vid. Slowly but surely watching all these professionals sharpen knives, after giving it a go myself already.. I'm getting "it" a little better than I had it before.

    I just wish I had a mechanical wet stone though. >_>''' So I could knock down knife thickness on cheap o knives quicker for practice.

  • "oropian knife", what the hell this nipo sayd?

  • @mesa401 BBW's are pretty cool, They are a little harder to get used to than a coticule. BBW's are sorta slow cutters as well because the garnet content is far lower than the coticule layer. It's really impossible to grit rate any natural stone, but 4k would be a ballpark for most of em I reckon. Play around with the slurry thickness or you'll end up not liking it in a hurry. A BBW is a lot more messy than a synthetic waterstone :)

  • @ArtistBlade1972 Well, I ordered a Belgian Blue Friday, I guess it is considered a water stone. My final step in sharpening is stropping with a 60,000 grit chromium oxide paste. I believe the Belgian stone is a 4000 grit.

  • @mesa401 People have different definitions of scary :) I've got a black and a translucent I used to use often. I was in love with my translucent, thought it was the most awesome stone ever. Then I started using waterstones and was amazed at the difference. Sharpening is 80% technique 20% tools. If your edges are scary off the translucent, they'll give you a heart attack off a naniwa 12k. Seriously...

  • @ArtistBlade1972 I have never used them. They look messy, and they wear out. I can use soft, black and my translucent Arkansas that is a $160 stone and put the scarriest edge you've ever seen on the dullest knife. About 30 minutes is all it would take on a very dull carbon blade. I'm not in that big of a hurry.

  • @mesa401 Best in the world? Have you ever used waterstones? I would describe novaculite as adequate. Not only does it cut 10 times slower than a quality waterstone, the finish from a black hard or a translucent doesn't even compare with an 8k waterstone. Much less anything higher grit...

  • I use Ouichita novaculite stones from Hot Springs Arkansas. The best in the world, and will last forever.

  • probably the best knife sharpening video on youtube. hats off.

  • great video, i have a global knife, learnt a lot with this video
