@watercrawl Wow that's great. So which 10k stone did you like the best?
-
I find this awfully soothing to watch.

@TetsiagoSonryu As long as you hold the angle, and do the exact same thing to both sides, it's fine.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you're supposed to push the blade up the stone and pull it back down in the opposite direction. Doesn't that compromise the quality of the sharpening?
-
@jedirifleman Well to my knowledge the reason you dont cut into the stone is because you "shape" the edge then. And we are to inaccurate to keep the same angle which results in the edge being uneven. Doing it the other way around lessens the problem.

@Dasmaster1 Sharpening with leading edge technique or trailing edge technique is pure choice. It dosent ruin anything. Watch a few more vids on here like the one on a day in the life of a katana togishi. Samauri swords are also sharpened the same way.
-
@Dasmaster1 You cant ruin the edge by directional sharpening. Many experts use different direction to create different teeth for different purposes. Push cut, pull cut and press cut. You are just too inexperienced to know this.
-
@watercrawl I mean the forward motion you do on the stone. To my knowledge you should never do that because it ruins the edge.
Is it really good to cut into the stone when you sharpen it? Usually find that you should avoid doing that whenever possible.

@Dasmaster1 Not sure exactly what you mean. Do you mean the edge leading? If you're steady, that is the best way to sharpen. If you're sloppy, then don't do that.

@soysauce376 I believe where I got it no longer carries them. However, I know Chef Knives To Go currently has them in stock for $54.95. They have a great web store and their service is top notch. It's called a Naniwa Sink Bridge and it changed my sharpening life. Great, great product.

So what's the conclusion? How do they compare?

@singlemalt25 All different, but all very nice. I still prefer the Naniwa 10k Superstone. Very, very difficult to sharpen on that stone as it's like sharpening on soft chalk and you have to be super steady or you can't use the stone.
