Ivan: I am really loving this series my daily carry knife is Tamahagane and it will soon be time to touch up the finish and I am learning a lot from your work. Can you tell me what is the white powder you add to the water in the wooden bucket? Thanks Bruce

another brilliant and informative vid. i have a number of cheap, i.e. $400 - $1400 aus, japanese knives and you have provided much useful info over the last year or so and inspired me to see if i can get them looking less utilitarian. alas i cannot source natural stones, and would probably massacre the stones if i could. i use most of them every day to cook, but seeing how u bring out the brilliance of the metal makes me believe that using them daily does not mean they cannot look more beautiful than they currently are - regards markc

Hi Ivan, can you please explain the reason for the different angles in the wooden straightening tool?
@ivanyuka-japanКүн бұрын
These different angles and widths are used when straightening single and double bevel knives.

Can you recommend a sample progression of stones for a high carbon steel knife, Rockwell hardness 56-58, 440c?
@ivanyuka-japanКүн бұрын
I mainly use NSK Kogyo diamond stones for my sharpening. You can refer to the site below for information on the stones which I provided the information to the shop for carbon steel knife. craft.komonjapan.com/nskkogyo-recommendation-carbonsteel
@charlesteryek47186 күн бұрын
I thoroughly enjoyed this series. The NSK stones sure look impressive on that knife. I appreciated the nuance throughout the series in regard to the decision making processes, but I would’ve loved to have seen a bit more on the technique as you continued through this progression. Hopefully a deeper dive on that in the future. 🤞🏻

Thank you for this lovely interview. I was lucky he accomodated my request for a Suiboku Gyuto when I went to visit Japan in August. It's really a thing of beauty and seeing his philosophy and how much he loves his craft just makes it even more valuable for me. I'm heading to Japan again in Dec hope to get a Damascus Bunka from him if possible.

After 5000# i switch to polycrystalline diamond. It starts as 5000# but as you use it, it breaks into smaller, sharp, crystals. I use it on a surface plate.

It depends on your photography skills, but according to my friend who is a professional sword photographer, Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop are the best.
