I didn't know that this stone could also use r2 steel. What other types of steel can it do? Is there a difference between this and the Arashiyama 1K and 6K? Looks like the 1k side is harder and the 6k side is creamier, softer as the arashiyama. Is there a difference in the type of sharpness or how quickly the ridge forms ? Same manufacturer but still apparently different.

Nice work & Good looking knife. Personally, I never do high polished knives with fancy cladding like this on highly friable or muddy stones because its much to easy to make scratches on the face. For this kind of knife I like shapton pro stones and things like this. Very easy to use acute angles like 12 degrees each side and not even one small accidental scratch on the knife. Every time I tried on something muddy like cerax I have to be careful and use higher angle to avoid scratching.

Slurry won't make scratches on blade. Only if you sharpen with very low angel, your blade might hit the stone by mistake. That will leave scratches.

@@tailibaba I generally like to use the lowest angle for myself. Especially on knives which have not been thinned to lasers, I always use lowest angle for edge.

So what do you think about the Imanishi stones performance? BTW That is a beautiful knife!

Thank you~ Imanishi Combo worths the money. Big size and thick!

Hello, thanks for your videos. Quick question : to flatten and generate your slurry, do you use the same diamond grit plate (Atoma140 ?) for the 1000 side and the 6000 side ? Or do you use a Atoma400 for the 6000 ?

Hi, Atoma 140 is better for grit above 4000. I use Atoma 400 for grit below 4000.

@@emmanuelvergne1955 It's not important. I suggest the 400 because it;'s more versatile. Yes the 140 is better for flatteing in general because it works faster and doesn't clog as easily. But the 400 works fine and it can also be used to make edges on knives with high vanadium steels that dont work on whetstones.. The only issue with 400 atoma is for some stones like say a 10k choserta, it leaves scratches in the stone and you need to flatten it with nagura., also sometimes if you are rough, diamonds can break loose and leave deep scratches on knives, like say you are thinning a knife bevel on atoma. Technically, if you just want a dedicated flattening plate the 140 is the better choice. The grit isn't an issue, 140 atoma can be used on anything but some stones it might leaves scratches, that have to be smoothed.

If you have both 140 and 400, you realize 400 on 5000+ grit, very easy to stick to each other when lack of water. Difficult to split. And if it's not the first time to use 140, 140 on 10k also good and leaves extremely light scratches and this doesn't bother me. I like to use 140 on higher grit stone when 400 is too easy to stick to.
