I look at the 2014 video, is Shig still using natural stone?
So which are the few knife makers in Japan you know of which use only Jnats?
what a knife maker uses does not reflect on what end user should be using anyway. that said, i'm all about using only naturals, except for really coarse work, takes too long on nats.
i do coarse on nat as well now that i have a good one, but still stick with a synthetic for thinning.
And this is great! Important: we do it with own hands, not machines, using our skills.:lol2:
It is actually the best way to hone said skills, I am still a complete beginner, but I am enjoying it
Edit: at least for amateurs like me
You are so lucky! Being just at the beginning you discover the huge new world. I enjoy it every day, really, it's so fascinating..
