@ you guys have a lot of good stuff. I’m thinking about attempting knife thinning (admittedly my sharpening skills are fairly basic). What stone would you recommend for a general purpose thinning stone?
@@MrEcted Because you're typically removing metal over a much wider area when thinning, I'd recommend a coarse stone just to speed up the process, 220 grit or coarser. A diamond stone would probably be the quickest, especially if you go for something big like the DMT 10" Diasharp. That's a high-end option. Middle option would be the Shapton Kuromaku 120 grit. For a budget option, we have a 120 grit, 11.5" silicon carbide oil stone that would get the job done. A coarse stone will leave some deep scratches, if you like your knives to look pretty you can always follow up with your regular stones to buff out those scratches.
The return of “chosera” but changing the spelling so that it won’t have the same SEO is a Twitter level of shooting yourself in the brand-recognition
I thought I had a stroke at the end lol
and I thought I spelt Chosera wrong this entire time.
I love Naniwa's stones, but it looks like they take their product naming cues from Microsoft!
Having to change everything across the whole site wasn't fun.
