I think you did a huge amount to stimulate interest in sharpening especially among the younger audience. Instead of some old dude in a cluttered, dark garage we have a young, enthusiastic and always well presented guy in a clean space with well-made videos. And yes, you are a nice guy. A huge thank you, Ryky.

Back to this video again and it helped me so much! Ive had an S1 6000 for 10 years thinking that would get me everthing I would need. Without your help I would have been stuck thinking I couldn't sharpen a knife. I had to outsource all the sharpening for 10 years! Expensive!! Thanks to you and learning from you I'm 21.00 dollars away from total success with the King 1000. I only have 3 knives but use them everyday at home like you. I'm feeling really empowered by all of this new knowledge. Many thanks Ryky!!!

Very grateful for your uploads. Did my 1st wetstone sharpen on a very dull victorionox chef knife on a cheap stone under your guidence . Great results so far. I will be purchasing with your guidance next week. Thank you Ricky.

Long winded, works. The more info, the better. Thanks for sharing. Just purchased a Cerax 1000. Should get here soon. Thanks again......

I just bought the Cerax 320, and the new Cerax 1000/6000 combo as my first Waterstones. I’m an experienced sharpener with all the other “styles” of stones, but this is my first jump into the Japanese pond! Looks like I made great choices.

This is awesome info! I discovered your channel few days ago and I've watched and learned tones from the newer to the oldest videos

The king. The one 1000 stone that I just cannot let go of no matter how much I like another stone... I feel you. There is a reason why it is called the king. Cutting speed alone does not make a stone perfect.

[@willieboy3011]

This is a well balanced review of the detailed, technical differences between the two stones. Good job. To me though, there does not have to be a "winner" chosen. The differences, such as time involved in sharpening a blade between the two stones or the feel of the blade on the stone, may matter greatly or not at all, depending upon the user's preference. Regardless, I am glad these differences are evaluated and illustrated.

For anyone considering the King I would highly suggest the Imanishi 1k/6k combo stone instead. It's bigger and thicker and you can get it for around 50-55 bucks. It's a lot harder than than the king and doesn't wear as quickly. It's probably a little less "snappy" in the feedback department but it has a very smooth, consistent feel. I have dozens of stones from Shapton, Naniwa (🖕😆), Suehiro, Imanishi/Arashiyama/Bester and I still grab that stone a lot. Would take it over the King any day of the week. Both sides seem true to grit. You could buy that stone and a good 220/320 (Shapton Ha No Kuromaku 320 is going for 35 dollars on Amazon) or a diamond plate and pretty much be set unless you're sharpening super high carbide steels

Soon I will have the means to build the gas forge that I've been wanting for years and start making knives...including kitchen knives. Your videos are a great resource for knife makers as well!

Great in depth reviews. Just stumbled on your channel today keep up the great work looking forward to watching through your videos. You have a new subscriber

[@eitanpeled7143]

hai mate ... what about the CERAX CR-4800 ? it is a combination of 1000 and 6000 same like the king kds

[@pentrixter]

Cerax 1000: $46 + $20 shipping = $66.

[@rickk1167]

I hope you keep up the awesome videos, i am just getting into water stones and have learned a lot from you. Now if i could just make up my mind as to which stones to get. Good luck in your future and again keep up the awesome videos

[@cokabs]

Great vid! the last part whit the close look to the edge is very helpfully...

[@allexojeda91]

My head chef just gifted me a brand new king kds dual sided 1000 and 6000 grit stone. Soaking it as i write this and im eager to see how it sharpens my zakuri blue steel.

[@samlee2562]

...in response to this video cerax have brought out a 1000/6000 stone o..O

[@berniegager7535]

Ignore the haters just do your thing. As for the polishing stones test use the same sharpening stone for every knife and this will astablish a control. Look forward to the upcoming videos.

[@jonnyb.484]

Great video mate. Looking to buy my first stone. One of these two I think, still not 100% sure which one lol. Found this video very helpful so thank you.

[@WetaMantis]

You convinced me to buy both a shirt and a sharpening stone :)
