Vlog#5 Sharpening on the king G-45 220 grit
Today was a slow burn. Really tired but managed to get something done finally. Got some new stones on the way, but for now im checking the king g-45 out.
It was also a good reminder how much focus sharpening requires. I was happy while making the video, but the day after with a good nights sleep i had to go back and redo the final steps before i could hand the knives over. But in the end the costumer was happy, and so was i.

I have the King 220. It drinks like a sailor home from the sea. But it reprofiles blades fast and leaves a nice edge ready to go to the 1000 grit. Nice video 👍
why did you eww sound when you touched the stone?
Can you do a comparison between the Kitayama 8k and the Suehiro 8000 W8, please.
What you think can Morihei cut powder steels, elmax, m390 and others?
I don't really understand why Shapton's 1500 grip exists, but in this selection of stones that you make, it would probably be a good choice, replacing the 1000 grip. good video
Great job. What was that knife? Tks
I would pay 4 dollars to have someone sharpen a knife to that degree.
Salut , possédez vous hyper king 1 et 2 k ? Qu en penssez vous ?
So personal preference, are the Morihei 1k, 4k and 9k good enough to replace a set of equivalent choseras? Or are choseras still king? (Working off the assumption that the choseras 400/800/3k for example polish higher than their grit and the Moriheis are lower)
I need to flatten a King Deluxe 1000 grit. Should the king deluxe be soaked when I flatten it?
I like your videos. Thanks. Everyone uses fine Japanese knives for their sharpening videos. Do you have advice for sharpening cheap knives?
Shapton 1000 is 14.7μ and Chosera 1000 is 11.5μ, this is why. The Shapton 1500 is 9.8μ and so is closer to Chosera 1000. Chosera 800 at 14μ is finer than Shapton 1000. If we pay attention to the microns μ rather than the grit # we get far more accurate information.
I remember years ago buying a Sharp Pebble 3k / 8k. At the time I was still "newer" to sharpening with various grits of stones (previously had always been coarser stones, hadn't been into refining stones) and thought the 3k/8k was going to be something amazing based on what I had read, etc. I quickly learned that was NOT really a 3k/8k, and that started my descent further into Japanese stones. I had a few Japanese stones, but nothing more than a 1k. Fast forward 6+ years and I have many, MANY Japanese stones, both synthetic and natural and my bank account is way lighter. However, I found some decent Chinese stones along the way!
I love my Morihei stones! I am thinking, and I could be wrong, but I wonder if the marks you saw on the back of the 6k were because they intend for us to use the top / front side to sharpen on? I say this because I have similar experiences on other stones, as well as my Morihei's, but the top side, if used, doesn't require any work. Another thing, I have some King Ice Bear stones, and the writing on the back side literally translates to "Do not use this side for sharpening, it is not prepared to use". This makes me thing that most, maybe not all, but most are this way where the top side is their intended side to use so if you use the back, it will need "dressing". I use the back side to preserve the writing and logos on the front because I am weird like that. lol
I hated the red nagura that comes with the rika. It cleans but is like a muddy 400 grit, leaves large particles everywhere, and needs to fully rince the stone after use to no cross contaminate. They should include a nagura from similar or the same material of the stone.
Thanks for the video. I just ordered the LD-21 for repairing my friends and family members' abused knives.
Hei Stefan :) Just started getting into the world of sharpening :) Looking to buy my first Gyuto , something very similar to yours , around 200mm, wa handle and high carbon steel. I want a special knife that I can bring out when making food :) Any ideas where I could source something like yours? Am in the Oslo area. Takk :) And where do you get your Shaptons from? Amazon? Damn toll is so expensive.
Great videos. Would love to see comparisons between the following: Chosera 1k vs Arashiyama 1000 vs King 1200 vs. Bestor 1200
Do you recommend the Aijsai 1200 stone? I am looking at a few other Miyagoshi such as takasegawa 1200 and atago 1000. Did any of rhese Miyagoshi stones stand out to you, and which stones would you say they are most simmilar to?
Just came across your channel. Tank you for reviewing these stones. These stones are not well known in the west so rhere are very few reviews! I am thinking of getting the atago #1000, Takasegan 1000, Ajissi/Hydrangea 1200, and maybe Kocyou 800. Do you have a recommendation? For examples, which stones would you say the atago 1000 is most simmilar to? Thabk you for your insights, a rare find and a great video!
Hi, is your white sink bridge from Suehiro? Is it any good? I'm looking at getting one. Thanks
I felt that dink in my soul 31:03
Love my King Deluxe stones. I don't have the XL like you have here, but I do have the larger variety. I hadn't seen anyone use an XL Deluxe yet, but seeing this makes me want to get one just because.. Using that Naniwa 150, this King, and the Aotoishi Green Brick could be the "big boy stone" progression! lol Where did you get the Naniwa 150? I have actually looked recently, and found one on Amazon but required shipping from Japan and not local in the US. I am not sure where you are located, but was wondering where you got yours?
I know this video was a few years ago, but it's nice to find another person who thinks that knife sharpening on whetstones finds it's soothing / cathartic like I do. I legit sharpen knives to calm down after a long day at work, or to relax on the weekends. I have recently turned it into a business... small, but doing it for money here and there. Love your videos!
How do these compare to the shapton rockstar?
I just bought my first Japanese kitchen knife, it’s a Nakagawa/Morihiro 210mm Ginsan Gyoto. What stones would you recommend for it?
Hallo, Mich würde interessieren was du mit der Tormek schleifst, ich habe seit Jahren eine und sie steht nur rum ?
As Murray Carter said, don't get hung up on the instruments, it's all in the technique. What you're paying for is really the feel and the speed.
@LightBrand *before he started selling nano hone 😅 but yea, totally agree
In your opinion how do they compare to a Arkansas stone? Do they leave a better edge?
Do you think the King g-45 is the same as the rough stone in the 250/1000 King combination stone? They seem to be of the same colour.
@miltoninsipid8108 I couldn't say, I haven't tried the 250/1000 combo unfortunately 😔
Would like to see a review of the Snapton rockstar stones. Maybe compare them to the glass version?
Thank you
Another enjoyable video, thank you. I really like your sharpening bench. Do you have a preference for soaking or splash & go stones. Looking forward to more videos.
@kencrane9726 depends. But if I really want to enjoy myself, i tend to prefer soft soaking stones. In general if I just need to get stuff done, it's handy to have a good coarse splash and go to set you off 🤓 thanks for the comment, and hope you have a great day
That is interesting to see. I have only King 300 grit that is very good especially for the low price (but a bit small). 1k Deluxe is pretty good too, as is the 6k. None of those is the best in my collection but I could live with them easily and they are pretty affordable. I have mostly normal sized stones but with over sized MD-21 the King 300 seems so tiny, seems about similar to the 220 in your video.
@hoggif yea. I find king stones to be good at an affordable price. A good recommendation to anyone starting out :) thanks for leaving a comment 😀
I have this 220 and the deluxe 300. The 300 is a bigger stone than the 220, in all dimensions. The 220 cuts faster but it's far more friable. The 300 is harder and doesn't give up abrasive easily like the 220, which I suspect green SiC
I have tons of stones (Suehiro, Shapton, Naniwa, Imanishi etc.) and honestly, King stones are just as good as most of the others in a lot of ways
@@AnarchAngel1 I've sometimes seen also different sizes of same King stones. For example I have a pretty small 6k that is available in larger sizes too. I think one just have to read carefully the dimensions, they're not all "standard size" like most other manufacturers have. But cheaper too, especially when smaller. Even a smaller one has a huge life time in normal home use.
@hoggif Yeah, King definitely has a way of making their stones in various sizes, which I actually like. You just have to pay attention, like the 6k comes in S-3, S-2 and S-1 being the largest. They make this small 4k that's a really good stone that I never here people talk about, probably because it's so small. I think it's called the s-45. It's hard and gives more like a 5-6k finish. The King Neo 800 is an awesome stone too. Again ST-4 is smaller and ST-2 is the large version. That stone is great for more stubborn steels, it's green SiC
Nice video ! I am interested to restore my whetstones i have 3 of them (400 , 1000 , 3000 grit) can u suggest in general what sandpaper grit is appropriate for every stone . Thank you !
Are all these different types of Tanakatoishi? I have a hard Aoto Tanakatoishi, but I don't understand jnats fully yet.
@morehn these are not natural stones, but i believe it is a blend. Tanaka toishi is the supplier, and aki, shiro, suki -monogatari is the name of each stone In this series.
Nice work !
I have every Chosera, and like you all mine except the 10k are on the base(since 10k never came on a base) since i prefer they are a little thicker than the Pro chosera without a base. I must say the 800grit is the least favorite and least used for me. I have found the $1k to just be better everywhere from tactical feel, and feedback but i do not know how consistent they can vary in their production. Stones that really stand out in that set for me are the 400, 1k, 2k, 3k and it took awhile to break in but once it did that 5k really started to become a great stone and though its may seem like a high jump, it sets u up for the 10k perfectly. Ive used the 400 and 2k so much im on my third 400, and second 2k
Great video. Looking forward to a possible one on coarse stones. Do you use compound or diamond emulsions on your strops?
Thanks for the comment. I use green compund from luxxor. approx 8k grit :)
Hello, I’m a huge fan of your videos. I learn a lot from you, thank you man! Now I wanna ask you a question: Do you know how to remove the plastic base from a stone? My Suehiro Rika has a glued base. In some of your videos, you said that removed the base of your new Cerax. Could you please explain how, or make a video about it? Please?
@AdriPereira76 it's pretty boring. I removed it carefully by sticking a butter-knife between the stone and the base 😅. Gotta be very careful though, because it very well may chip or even crack in the process 🤓
@@lofotenknifeworks2278 thanks a lot!!!! I’ll be careful! 😅
Hello, love your videos. They gave me lots of information and you present the topics in a very nice way, thanks. Question : I generally use some out of these : Naniwa pro 400, 800, 2000, 3000 and kitayama 8k. Wondering if buyong the Naniwa pro 5k (or Suehiro 5k) would be worthwhile adding to the collection. I used to stop often at the 3k, but since I have the 2 k it seems quite ok as a last stone. Regards, Hubrecht
@hubrechtpeeters644 Hi, and thx for the kind comment. You have a good line-up there. So if you enjoy the naniwa pro you know you won't go wring with the 5k. On the other hand, something new could also be exiting. I would recommend the suehiro rika 5k. It would fit nice in between, and is a faster, softer stone than the naniwa 5k m, if my memory serves me right :)
Thanks for your feedback. Kindest regards, Hubrecht
Hi there! thanks for the really comprehensive video! I'm surely gonna get the King 6000 now as it is in my budget. I want to know what you think about differential grit sharpening where one side is sharpened to a higher grit than the other 1000 one side and the other side is taken to 6000, I heard it does really well especially on tomato and peppers and still cuts meat smoothly
Personal preference is one thing, but steel type another. For example Morihei can feel very nice for carbon steel but for harder tempered steels quite ineffective or even like nothing happens with something like VG10, S30V and similar. It also depends on what you are doing, you don't always want the fastest speed there is. For polishing, making kasumi and what not I sometimes like to use different stones of same grit in order like a harder stone followed by a slurrier softer stone. To me 6k is a bit of odd ball. I tend to have 1k, 3-5k, 8k as most common series. I think the difference of 4k to 6k or 6k to 8k is not that big, which is why I don't have 6k for many of the stone series I have. Oh, no mention of the diamond in description. Looks like Atoma 400 that I think you've also used before. Both 140 and 400 are great for slurry and/or flattening stones.
@hoggif thx man. I totally forgot to put that In the description. It's a worn atoma 140, my fav. For flattening and working up slurry. My 400 atoma sticks a bit to theese so I use that one mostly with naturals. I got a video in the cooker about soft vs hard steel on the same stone. I got the microscope photos down, just need to film it :) and lastly about the 6k as an oddball. I would be happy to have it as a finishing stone for harder steels following a medium 1k on secondary bevels. But I do agree that most times, at least for larger surfaces I would omit the 6k grit. However the suehiro one is soft and fast and can be a great addition to a polishing progression. Thanks for commenting, good insights and valuable both for myself and whoever reads it 🤓 hope you stick around for more 😀
@@lofotenknifeworks2278 Worn atomas are great too. 400 is a bit sticky sometimes but nothing compared to 1200 that I never use. Mostly 140/400. They last well too. As a flattening stone/slurry stone and some sharpening, I got about 20 years out of my 1st Atoma 400. Still fine for slurry quite a bit slower than the new one I got. Haven't thrown it away yet. I have no suehiro 6k but if I noticed you told it's bit like 5k (Rika). Assuming that, it should be a lovely stone for a suehiro stone like me and Rika 5k works well for difficult steel types too.
How about naniwa traditional/basic 6000?
@andreasjonsson8075 I don't have it atm unfortunately. If I did, it would be in here 🤓.

King 6000 is great so I bought a second. I've been using the first one since May 2021 so I should have a lifetime supply
Been in love with king since the start. The 1k was my first proper Japanese stone :) The s-1 6k has a lot of the features i love about the g-1 8k, just with a little more speed. Great stone overall. Thx for commenting 😁
Hi there I love your thorough and honest review! Could you do a video on the king 6k? I wanted to get the king 8k but I don't really like working with all that slurry, my choice right now is between a king 6k or 4k and I'm really leaning into the 6k but I would love to see it perform first.
@@randyarthur2942 thx for the kind comment. That is definitely a possibility. I actually got a brand new 6k king the other day that I haven't tried yet 😁
