Love the Crystolon. So underrated.

For sure, one of the best bang for the buck stones imo. BTW I have the full set in 8"x3" Crystolon and India, I know you've used them before however if you've never tried the larger 8x3's or a certain grit in either one let me know if you like to.

I'm starting to REALLY like the edges I get of my course stone (only have one a King 220) the way they cut curtain fruits ect is fantastic 😁

In general, kitchen knives are more fun to sharpen than pocket knives. I love trying different grit edges just to see how they perform. Nice work as always and thank you for the video! Just curious, Did you thin that by hand?
@NORTHWESTKNIFEGUY2 жыл бұрын
I enjoy sharpening pretty much everything but yeah they're enjoyable to sharpen. Thank you and yes I did thin it by hand.

Thanks for video........water/dawn? No oil? What gives?

Oil is a better lubricant and IMO better for these stones but can be messy. For the most part water with some soap will work just fine.

Was thinning it necessary or something that was preferential? I just ordered a Henckles Santoku made in Spain because I thought it would be easier to sharpen.
@NORTHWESTKNIFEGUY Жыл бұрын
I use it a lot so needs thinning from time to time. Once the bevels starts to widen that's normally a good sign to thin it a bit.

@@knifesharpeningnorway Ahh nice, think you'll like them as they cut fast. Unlike say a sigma power select 240 (SIC) that has minimal binder and releases abrasive fast with low force these are not as friable and need imo a bit more pressure for them to release abrasive. If you can use something like food grade mineral oil and the stones will cut very fast, if you do use water I would use soapy water (few drops) as soap is a surfactant and will allow you to use water without the beading or pooling as these stones are pre-loaded with oil from Norton. What I like to do is use with soap/water and in between uses I will flush the stone with oil spreading with finger and dabbing with paper towel until paper towel comes up clean then it's ready for use with soap/water again. Of course oil is a better lubricant and will cut better or more efficiently since there is less friction however I know some don't like dealing with oil. Any idea when they arrive? Edit: also worth noting if you flatten with a diamond plate it will change how aggressive the stone is and cuts, I finish them with 60 SIC powder.

@@NORTHWESTKNIFEGUY probably in two days. Hm hard to find mineral oil here. So water and soap is all i got. Can i just clean em now and then with the atoma 140?
@NORTHWESTKNIFEGUY2 жыл бұрын
@@knifesharpeningnorway I'm sure there is some other kind of oil you have locally (baby oil) that would work just fine. If using soap/water I would use some kind of oil in between sessions to float the metal from the stone so it cuts better, you can use diamond plate like 140 and will level it no problem however it will imo smooth the surface out a bit so the stone(s) won't act as aggressive. You may or may not like this.

What’s your favorite stone for thinning?
@NORTHWESTKNIFEGUY2 жыл бұрын
Probably the Sigma power select II 240, a real monster if you want to remove a lot of material fast. If it's more maintenance thinning then even something like a Shapton 1k with a slurry will be fine.

Why do you dull the knife before thining it?
@NORTHWESTKNIFEGUY2 жыл бұрын
Normally when thinning I'm using a good amount of force and scrubbing fairly quickly. Doing that with a very sharp knife is a good way to cut yourself which I've done more than once over the years.
