Hello! It is now completely autumn in Kyoto and the autumn leaves in the mountains are beautiful.
I photographed the first step of sharpening Urushi Kurouch Gyuto that I just received. Ivan's sharpening process is based on a solid base before moving on to the next step, so the 200 grit alone made one video.

Hand working needs time, shaping needs skill. You showed us both, thank you 🙏

Great video guys!
As a sharpener it's so nice to see a video showing how arduous the ground work can be. Too many highlight reels out there showing a snappy progression through stones capped off with some quick finishing work on a pretty stone.

Thank you so much! This was the main idea for this series to show the reality of hand sharpening.

[@nothing9447]

Woo that sound! Sure it’s grinding metal. I hope i will try that stone sure its fun to use 😍

[@ivanyuka-japan]

Yes! The lower grit NSK Kogyo stones are very aggressive and fun to use.

[@ivantasic9883]

thank you for making this series...i waited a long time to see Ivan's work and progression in more detail

[@ivanyuka-japan]

Thank you, yes Ivan is pretty private about his work but after many requests to show more of his process we decided this was the right time.

[@lacasadetoishi]
