Waterstone sharpening for dummies

Published: 8 years ago

In this video I will give you a tutorial on how to sharpen knives using water stones. I'm using a good starter set of stones in this video.
mind that there are many ways to sharpen knives properly and this is not the only good way.

The angle I use in this video is for the needs of the sushi restaurant. You can use a larger angle if you want.

The Chosera series has been replaced with the professional series!

Stones:
Naniwa Chosera 400
Naniwa Chosera 1000
Naniwa Chosera 3000

Stropping:
Leather strop with Bark River Black and White compound (3000 and 12000 grit).

Naniwa makes very high quality stones which don't need soaking as they absorb almost no water. These stones sharpen with their surface particles while softer stones sharpen with their slurry.
