Thread: Setting bevel with Naniwa 1k

FWIW: the chef knife guys talk a lot about how the naniwa's do glaze with swarf, and how this can be helped by soaking them 10-15 minutes before use, and/or lapping.
I really want to give these stones a try but there's something about using the King stones I have until nothing is left that appeals to me, being my first stones and all. They're good enough for me, for now. (there's a 1/4 ton gorilla in the room and his name is HAD!)
You'll figure this out. go for a walkabout, vision quest, sweat lodge, whathaveyou, and come back with a fresh outlook.

coticule is working out pretty well so far. going to hone another 5 blades this way and see how they all shave. if 8 blades honed w/ a coticule bevel work, i may just say screw the naniwa..

I have to say the the 1k does load up quik thats what i thought but no problem a good rub clean it or a quik rub with lapping stone keeps tghings clean

your coti must be a fast cutter. Out of all my hones i have to say honing on the belgium blue and yellow coticule with or with out slurry they are great and i realy think they are my favourite with no dout. But the edges of synthetic will gaurantee a sharper edge bbw/coti give very good edge and smoothest edge so its good to have both synthetic and natural. For maintanance all you will ever need is your bbw/coti.

i have not tried setting bevel on a breadknifed razor w/ coti. but on a razor i dulled w/ glass, it took < 10 min on the 3 i tried.

i still have a dmt 600 for bastard blades.

That makes sense i have tryed on bread nifed and i gave up and hit dmt.
