You guys need to check out this video! I thought i would share.

The insane part is the 5 to 8 hours of labor he put into that.

Correct me if im wrong, but doesn't it look like he's using a coarse SIC stone for a slurry stone on a 1k shapton water stone?

He is using the SIC stone to flatten the surface of his stones. He is not using that a slurry stone.

Now thats entertainment! Thanks!
Very nice
Useful too
much more than the maybe inspiration: junskitchen http://youtu.be/7dFFEBnY0Bo
The lil dog saucer/jug is actually a cow (see second video)
The guy is an office worker and hes awesome

Last few times I visited daiso japan they only had the speed hole knives in stock
and I've been on the lookout for these flat square bottom porcelain dishes
Sharpening the kitchen knife with a dish - kiwami japan



2 knives, hollow chisel grind, about ~1.5mm stock (i judge), ~6inch blade, ~4.5inch handle, $1.50 each over here
he laps the "stone" more than once (black versus white dish)
one dish #600 - #800 grit?
another #1000k?
used 1k dish is #3000-#5000?
mirror polishes with shapton 30k for comparison
maybe 10 hour grind time or ~60k passes



Now I've done long grinding sessions,
but almost never more than an hour at a time,
and its more like grind for a minute, break for a minute 2-4 pps
so the pass estimates above are like 1.8 pass per second ballpark instead of half

I've got about 18 hours grinding time in an 8inch knife (???60k - 260k passes???)
but spread out over a few months
and its thinner stock at ~1mm,
but it used to have ultimate serrations like steak knife, lots of damaged tips,
and I used fine side of dollar tree stone ...
and green400diamond from harborfreight
but still very much convex / thick / uneven
maybe something like
2-5 one side, up to 6-10
6-7 other side, up to 10-11
...
jigs and extra extra extra coarse stones speed things up

Thanks
I don't mow

This is great, thanks.

I love unusual sharpening.

You know what, guys. I actually went to the same shop and bought a Santoku of the same brand as well. Can't find this Nakiri(?). The mysterious steel on mine is actually holding the edge okay in my office pantry, better than my Victorinox Fibrox!

When I finished 3 or 4 knives, I understood I need flat lapping machine
to be used for thinning geometries/adjusting thickness behind the edge
and sharpening so I dont have to spend hours hand grinding..

Nice illustration on geometry vs steel.

Since watching the first Kiwami video I’ve been hooked.
