In the studio, Hap Stanley - Nano Hone Sharpening Products - Part Two

[@NanoHone]

That was lots of fun, thank you for having me on

[@nadm]

Thanks for coming

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

I learned a lot of practical techniques Hap. The jointing is happening tomorrow! Nice double feature gents.

[@nadm]

Great to hear! Thank you.

[@deannaannechino3543]

Celebrity in the house! 😊 Hap seems like a really awesome guy. Thank you for sharing him with us

[@nadm]

It was cool to have them in here. Crazy! And then he comes in the comments and writes everything. It's awesome.

[@sonkekoster3105]

Hap really knows what he is doing. Respect.

[@nadm]

It was a pleasure to work with him and yes, I did learn something

[@sonkekoster3105]

This was a really great video (Part I & II)! Thank you!

[@nadm]

You're so welcome!

[@2076649]

This tip of removing the burr on the stone is only a thing you realize with years of experience, along side with the other one you said about the apex acute angle isn't trully formed even with burr formation. Thanks guys you are awesome!

[@nadm]

I consider myself really good at doing this, but I was glad to get another trip for two to add to it. I’m adding some longer strokes and a couple of little nuance things.

[@andrebaran7337]

Great episode, very informative . I was quite surprised how much pressure he actually put on the blades.

[@nadm]

Right!

[@Seraph137]

Hap Stanley, MASTER at his craft. You very much impressed me, especially my OCD with the Micron vs grit knowledge. I will have to save up, but you've sold me on the Nano Hone system. I especially like that I have the option to explore natural stones via the optional plate backings. Very scalable system.

[@GlennInLaguna]

One thing Hap mentioned in part one was how synthetic stones are made, that there was a Top and a Bottom. I assume that grit might "settle", even if ever so slightly, within the stone during manufacturing.

[@nadm]

I love hearing that. From a manufactures one of you that was awesome.

[@djrond7072]

Great video and pronunciation on Hap's part.

[@nadm]

It was Awesome.

[@jurrian644]

Very nice episode. Nice to hear from the manufacturer point of view. I couldn’t let go of the claim that a man made stone would make a finer or sharper edge. I’d like some elaboration on that. Would be nice to hear what Hap ideas are about edge durability, man made versus natural.

[@nadm]

Glad you enjoyed it! He's been reading the comments, so wouldn't be crazy if he actually commented. I'm going to tag them and see if he will. @nanohone

[@sharpfactory3705]

Very nice Episode

[@nadm]

Thank you. I know you carry his products. Good luck. I did learn something.

[@xonerate]

Cool Video, I think Hap did the final Combing step with the 1000k for high density Materials; eg: Hard Cheese, Prosciutto, and Stuff like that. I have tried the final combing Technique with a finer Grit, and Removed Burr with a even Finer Grit (Just Stropping Strokes) and it Works Good as well. I Noticed Hap does not use Edge Leading Strokes, I think it is due to Create a longer lasting Edge which is not a bad thing. Thank You for Posting The Video .

[@nadm]

Thank you. He doesn’t necessarily use Edge leaving strokes, but he does push the edge sideways which is edge forward typically when he’s removing the burr. I was physically next to him when I saw it. Knife grinders does believe in Edge leading strokes, but no higher than 8K.

[@Alex25CoB]

That was very informative indeed!! I have seen the jointing technique before, but have never tried it. Although I'm not really convinced that "combing in teeth" after finishing on a 10k is the best thing, since its creating a new burr. I guess, thats why you guys had troubles with the blueberries, apart from being too soggy. Maybe putting it on leather after could work! Thanks for the great content😊

[@nadm]

It was the soggy blueberries. I had a feeling before I started. I was just hopping. I use this technique before. Shibata does this. It does help bite the skin.

[@Alex25CoB]

@nadm yep I understand the concept, but shouldn't be the burr be removed afterwards?

[@nadm]

@@Alex25CoB it’s not really a burr. You’re just barely scraping lightly to put the tiniest of grooves on the edge of the Apex but you’re not really trying to make a burr

[@xonerate]

Hi, on another Video together with @Carter Cutlery; Hap Does the Combing last Step and Removes the Burr with a Finer Stone.

[@nadm]

@@xonerate thank you 🙏

[@TylrVncnt]

Legend

[@nadm]

Definitely crazy to have him in the house.

[@transwerewolf]

❤

[@nadm]

Thanks for checking in

[@powerai]

Thank you very much. I was surprised how much pressure he used on the 15 micron . I also found it interesting he joints on every grit. In his past KZbin videos I only remember him jointing on the fine stones. I am also curious to try the 15 micron stone and see how it compares to my trusty king

[@nadm]

I had recently been using them a lot. I like them. The King stone is trusty though, so I get it.

[@Alistair_Spence]

I don't think that's correct. He thins on every grit, but only joints after the 400 and the 10,000, as far as I can see anyway.

[@jeffhicks8428]

The nanohone is like a slightly more friable SG stone, basically you get 10mm instead of 5 mm but it wears a bit faster so it's a tradeoff, The SG is itself more friable then the SP, but still any of these stones are going to much harder and much less friable than something like a King stone which is made specifically for wide bevel low alloy Japanese knives. These stones are much longer wearing and more versatile than a King stone. Harder stones require more pressure than softer more friable stones like the king, so your king will not require as much. It also depends of what you're grinding and what kind of steel it is.. A tiny edge bevel is different from a big wide bevel, and stainless steel is very difference from low and no alloy carbon steels.

[@powerai]

@@jeffhicks8428 Thanks Jeff. Sounds like SP is worth a try!

[@luisnouel4268]

Amazing videos. I learnt a lot. One question. Shibata technique only applies to Japanese knives? Can I use it on my EDC folders? It Sounds interesting have 1 polish side and another toothy on my EDC folder. Today I tried jointing technique with 2 Vosteed knives. Both sharpened 15 degrees ending with 3 microns. BESS showed 105 for the Raccoon. and 100 for the Nightshade. Not bad at all

[@nadm]

Thank you for that. I'm curious to know more about that.

[@luisnouel4268]

@@nadm I do jointing not with a stone. I prefer a soft piece of wood like balsa. In the link is a better explanation what I do before I switch stone kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWSQZZediK5sm8U
