Thread: Sushi knife hone

I got this through a Chinese friend. Supposedly of Japanese manufacture. The included rubber foot and corner protectors are nice.

I would run it through its paces, then again I try a lot of uknown razor makers and have a few I like a lot more than some known names.

See how it does, keep us posted, and see if you can find out the maker.

I'm going to give it a run tomorrow and I'll post up.

Size is 180x60x27mm

Make sure it's dead flat and go for it!

Like the name eod7, You've worked with it?
Once heard over the radio; "EOD still have no idea if it's a IED or a UXO"

It's just initials. The gentlemen who do ordinance disposal have my great respect, from a fairish distance.

Sure is a nice looking hone.

Ok, I found it. I guess it's a Japanese stone made for German distribution that came to me by way of China.

That looks a lot like the hone that was asked about in this thread. When you put it through its paces you might want to post your experiences.

I lapped it on 400 wetdry on glass. The faces were pretty flat from the factory. Laps quickly.

Soaked it for 5 minutes, 3000 side is pretty thirsty, 8000 side not so much.

I put an old chipped razor on to test. 3000 side grit is about right. Cuts fast, you could set bevels and remove small chips with this. It would be slower than a proper 1000 stone, but acceptable.

8000 side is actually 6500-7000 range. Cuts fast and good feedback. But not quite fine enough to get a really good shave off of. Need to go to a finisher from this.

I'm happy with it, it fills in the whole midrange for my stone set. I most certainly did not pay the prices shown in the links above though, I'd go for a Norton if I were already spending that much. I'm on the hunt for a 10000 finisher now.

Funny that this NAKATOMI trademark of "japan whetstones" is known in the Russia only.

I don't recommend these stones for razor sharpening.
