Knife Knowledge: Green Brick of Joy! Naniwa 2k (2000 grit) Whetstone

This episode is an exploration into a unique stone. This whetstone has its own reputation. Naniwa has always been a fantastic company. This whetstone is an opportunity for them to show that you only need one whetstone stone. Let there only be one. It has been around for a while. It is 2 1/2 inches thicker than your average whetstone. It straddles the line between sharpening and polishing. In this video, we use the infamous, Masamoto KS Shirogami (White Paper) #2. I felt it was important to test this theory on a knife that I had sharpened many times before. I don't believe that the stone is good for sharpening something that is extremely dull. I do believe, by the video evidence presents that you can use this stone to maintain your knives and bring them back to a sharpness that is above and beyond. Enjoy our demonstration. We have included some links below. No commissions are paid on these links. These are provided for your convenience. There will be one link below to the Atoma 1200 and 400 plates that I normally use for flattening. In this video I do flatten the stone and raise a slurry with the 1200 grit Atoma. I will include a link for that and that is an Amazon affiliate link. It does pay a commission.
