King VS Arashiyama

[@lisat776]

Hi Ryky, I love cooking with good knives. I’ve recently been investing in better quality knives. And with those new knives I also wanted to learn how to take better care of them. Your videos have really helped! And I have found that for me it is actually soothing to sharpen and take care of my knives. It not a chore at all! Thank you!!!!

[@BillAbler]

Agree with this video - I have the King 1000/6000 and it puts me ahead of 95% of kitchens. As a home user, I can't afford to keep up with the top of the line stones - frankly I'd benefit more from upping my technique and sharpening a bit more often. I think the internet tends to poo-poo us home chefs who just want to be able to cut tomatoes cleanly or fillet fish with ease, and tends to be geared toward the pro/semi-pro sharpener....

[@buntbar2438]

This Channel seems to be very reasonable. Many knife enthusiasts are was to focused on high end knifes. Most people don't even have nearly the cutting or honing skills to get to the performance Limit of a 50$ Knife with a 30$ stone. Whenever I get asked about which knife to buy, I tell people to get a whetstone and to sharpen the old knives. If you don't know what it feels like to sharpen and wear down your old knives, how can you know what you want out of your your new ones?

[@nadergt1]

How many minutes does it have to be in water before you use it?

[@The-Mr-Sz]

@@nadergt1 that's a quite old video, so even Ryky changed his opinion on King S1600 later on. There's some info on his website and in the comment on YT, as for King KDS : 1000grit - 5-10min 6000grit - splash and go, dont soak it

May I ask how long do you soak the stone for? I am getting different feedbacks.

[@injairgun]

Awesome video! What I got from this was, even though it''s great to have the expensive stone, the cheaper stone works and sharpens the same and you got comparable results with both knives. So why not go for the cheaper stone, big deal that it wears faster.

[@TimKollat]

I have nice expensive Naniwa Chosera and Naniwa Specialty stones which are both very nice, but I decided to take Murray Carters advice on the King deluxe 1000 and King 6000. I thought they were going to suck in comparison because they were so much less money, but I agree with you about the Kings. The 1000 is fast and the 6000 is very smooth. It cuts fast and doesn't load up at all just like you said. It is very quite and cuts/polishes very well..I don't ever use my Naniwa stones even though they are silky smooth and feel great to work with, its just the Kings get me razor sharp edges in only two stones, then strop with white compound from Bark River....razor edges!..Great video!

[@rolandmost]

This is all about individual preference, but you might want to reconsider and give your Naniwa Chosera stones a second chance. They are really high quality stones.

[@marcmaclellan3503]

thanks going to buy the king.. How To Use Fill the stone with water by submerging it before use (10-15 minutes should be ample). When sharpening, keep the stone wet by sprinkling it with water as required and flush often to clear away any swarf (fine metallic shavings removed by the stone from the edge of the blade) to expose fresh cutting particles. The 1200 Grit The 1200 Grit side of the stone is used to flatten the back of the blade and form the edge, the most important part of your cutting tool. It does this by removing any nicks or imperfections on the edge of the blade to form the bevel. If your blade is in excellent condition to start with and you simply want to remove surface scratches before further refinement and polishing, this would be a great starting stone. The 8000 Grit The finer side of this stone is a fine finishing stone and is used to produce an ultra-sharp edge and bring the metal to an absolute mirror finish. This grit will give a little more "bite" to the edge than the 6000 grit. Together with the Nagura stone you will end up with an edge that should be good enough to shave with and a mirror finish good enough to brush your hair in!!! This combination waterstone measures 185 x 63 x 25mm (Broad enough to take a 2-3/8" plane iron) The artificial Nagura stone supplied with this combination waterstone can be used on 6000, 8000 and 10,000 grit waterstones. The Nagura Stone Artificial Nagura stones are a useful accessory to 6000 grit (and above) finishing stones and serve two purposes: 1. To Develop A Slurry Creating a slurry on your finishing stones before actually sharpening your tools on them is a good practice as it will greatly speed up the sharpening process. To create the slurry first soak both the sharpening stone and the Nagura stone until saturated. Rub the Nagura stone over your finishing stone until a good slurry has developed on the surface of the finishing stone. An added bonus with the slurry is that the slurry can also be used to clean the stains from the surface of a blade caused by the tannins in wood. Great for all you wood carvers out there! 2. Flattening High Spots On Finishing Stones When using the finishing stone you notice a high spot developing, you can actually rub it out with the Nagura stone. The Nagura Stone can also be used as a small sharpening stone in its own right. Stone size : Approx 75 x 25 x 25mm If you are still not satisfied with the edge obtained using this combination stone, you could move on to a 10,000 grit stone and get an edge so scarily sharp, they should make a movie about it!! The Non-Slip Waterstone Holder The Non-Slip Waterstone Holder is a very worthwhile accompaniment to your waterstone collection. It will make sharpening non-frustrating, easier and most importantly of all, SAFER.

[@ernie548]

The one factor that complicates your comments on the number of passes, is the type and quality of the steel in the knife relative to the stone. :)

[@jtcaruanafan4617]

4:30, Kings3000 is splash and go. And its another King nasty value, just superb. The coarse 300 grit surface quickly repairs worn or damaged edges. Since it is not water-absorbing stone, there is no need to absorb it in water before use. But please make sure pouring water when using.

The 6000 side is splash and go. If you soak it once nothing happens but use it like that for a year and it cracks. At least mine did.

[@DrJuan-ev8lu]

IMHO slicing and dicing are over half the task of cooking. Thus the knife is critical equipment. And sharpening technique and knife maintenance can make a big difference toward overall effectiveness and enjoyment in the kitchen. No matter what knife you use, things will go better if you learn to sharpen it. You have made a good case for getting the King 1000/6000 for knife tune-ups.

How are you liking it after a year? I just got mine to sharpen a fairly nice block set I got. Sharpened my 8” chef last night and I was thrilled with the results.

[@willieboy3011]

So the slurry produced is the from the stone wearing away, right? I thought it was the metal wearing away from the blade. Perhaps, I was confusing the slurry produced on diamond plates being from the steel blades as being the same as with whetstones. Thanks a lot. I am new to these sharpening stones. Like most Americans, I was raised on Arkansas whetstones, which have proven themselves over the centuries. However, I like to try different stones, and the Arkansas stones go to about 1200 grit, not 6000.

Hey Ricky, I got a 1000/6000 grit Regnus brand combination water stone ($30 on Amazon) last year. It is my first water stone and I have gotten very good edges using it but it has worn very fast, about 1/4" on the 6000 side and 1/8" on the 1000. That's only about 50 knives. Would the KDS be a good upgrade before I start dropping money on some Naniwa Professional (new Chosera) stones?

[@sanchezzz1]

I thought the King had a cleaner sound, so I think it polished the knife better. Sold!

[@jamesnapier107]

Great review, lots of info. I'm looking around and checking out some new stones. I was thinking on a king deluxe, so seems like they are a good stone.

[@Burrfection]

it's a great stone for your money. as long as your knives are over 62 HRC, you'll be fine.

[@fulljackrackoboe]

I think Arashiyama is a quite better stone depending on some tests I found on the net, not talking about the feel but numbers which is what it really counts. Also when I heard him cutting the paper the Arashiyama just got a smoother sound which means that that knife got a more polished and smooth edge. King might be a very decent stone in general terms but Arashiyama is just a better stone it does better with extremely tough steels, it is faster, it is less friable, it is bigger, it can be used as splash and go stone and so on. It is a tout terrain stone which performs really good anywhere. To me one of the best stones on the market in the 6000 range.

[@harryburr7451]

Been watching you for a long time, however I have never seen you talk about / review Hayabusa knives. I bought mine about 15 years ago for right about $200 wholesale.

[@Bunta1987qwerty]

Lil Ziggy don’t worry. It’s not a bad stone. The 1000 cuts a little slower and wears a little quicker, but the 6000 side is good. You won’t be disappointed if it’s your first good stone. I have both, and I use both often. I have several kw65 to keep them in different locations, since it’s cheaper and still good.

[@lz_377]

Leopoldo Gutierrez thanks for the response. I got the stone today and sharpened a decent stainless chef knife that I hadn’t used yet. Out of the box it was sharp but a little rough. The 1000 started slow just like you said but once that coat wore off it did a great job. Also the 6000 side was much better than expected. After I finished I felt the blade with my finger and just noticed while typing this 3 hours later it sliced right into my finger tip. I’m going to build my collection but I’m overall happy with it so far. Take care.

SuperNeloo I sharpen all sorts of tools using the DMT Dia Sharp whetstones. They’re diamond and just cut. Great for tool steels. I suppose it partly depends on what metal your chisels are made from. Japanese whetstones seem to be great for stainless, carbon and even VG10. I don’t know about tool steels. Maybe your chisels are fine woodworking. DMT gets pretty high mesh though.

Hey Ricky, why is it that you advise going with the KDS over the KW65? I have the KW65 and it seems like a very good stone since I have gotten many dull knives very sharp, although take this from an amateur since I still do a lot of mistakes while learning. Also, the reviews on amazon for the KW65 are highly positive and pretty much everyone recommends it. The only negative thing that I have noticed is that the 1000 grit side is quite soft and requires you to level it every now and then. I have been considering getting the KDS but since I already own a KW65 I wouldn't know if I'd benefit from the upgrade.

A knife that can’t cut tomato skin can cut newspaper. Are you feeling and hearing for something specific with newspaper? Thanks.

[@Burrfection]

the newspaper cut is mainly for checking for the edge's consistency. you'll be able to see, feel, and hear if the paper is cut cleanly. you can't do that with a tomato.

[@PaulK390S90V]

Lol I got my answer! I always do that. Anyways how do you flatten your stones? Do you keep in mind the grit of what your lapping with compared to the stone grit or do you just use the same lapping grit for everything...I get mixed info about what grit to lap certain grit stones with. I have a dmt xcoarse diamond (220 grit) 8x3 tHat I use, but I also have the coarse/fine duosharp from dmt that maybe I could use after the xc...I would love your thoughts

[@Burrfection]

i personally don't, and it appears most people watching this video don't agree with me. my knives are pretty sharp, so i have never bothered flattening my stones. however, if you are sharpening yanagibas, then flattening would be needed.

Now, to my question - it's regarding the King KDS: I saw in the comments on Amazon that people said that you should soak the 1000 grit side for about 20-30 minutes, but the 3000 side not more than 10, because otherwise the 3000 side performs poorly. What do you recommend? Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏

So. Do you soak both sides of the king?
