Save money with Hapstone

Of course if you are passionate about sharpening you want all the best for your knives, but trust me, with two or three stones you can do the job and enjoy extremely sharp edges. My suggest is to invest money in the coarse stone, the one you use most with dull knives, or if you need to adjust geometry. A premium stone it’s faster and last longer. Then you can buy budget stones and obtain really good results. You can buy 100/1000/strop but it’s fine 120/600/strop or other combinations. Sometimes, if the knife is in good conditions, I just use a 400, then 2500. I mean, if you like to play you have to spend money, but if you have cheap dull knives, just buy the essentials and learn about this magic world. For sure there’s no reason to carry so many stones with me when you realise how important are your skills vs spending a lot of money.
Do not hesitate to write me if you need some help.

PS: Hapstone is the last system I've bought, and I'm so happy considering 2 years with Edge Pro and many years with similar systems.

cacchio ne avevo fatto uno bellissimo ma mi son reso conto, dopo un'ora di montaggio che la parte finale era senza audio. Ho buttato via tutto, sai le bestemmie in giapponese che ho tirato...

All very clear but I wanted to ask why make such a large jump in grain i.e. from 100 to 1000? Have you noticed that even using intermediate grits the result is the same? Because if that were the case it would be really interesting.

Hi, I always consider who the knife belongs to and what use they make of it. Often the knives are made of soft steel and users don't pay much attention when using them, so if you make a good base with the roughing stone, just refine the work with about a thousand and the work comes out very well. It is clear that for my carbon steel blades and I know how I treat them, I add another stone. In any case, you don't need many stones, because then the difficulty, especially with the finer ones, is maintaining the same working angle. Often between a 5k and 8k, if you are not hyper precise in doing the fine tuning with the angle, you waste time.

thanks for the video, what model r2 are you using ? Standard or opti?

Hi, this is Luca with another profile. I have the Black edition. In the video I didn't use the other 2 clamps.

Ciao Luca, scusami la domanda forse un po’ stupida però vorrei essere sicuro di non sbagliare, i manici in legno dei coltelli giapponesi possono essere lavati con acqua e un po’ di sapone dopo l’uso, se trattati periodicamente con olio minerale o é meglio evitare ? Grazie

[@GravitySchoolScuolaMtb]

Ciao, ma certo che li puoi lavare con il sapone! Magari lavali a punta in giù così non entra acqua nel manico. Ok olio ogni tot per reidratare il legno
