Cool! So that's how you use the wheel. Thanks for doing this!

Nice job with the deba. Consitent bevel all the way and nice finish. Huge difference!

My first thought is that you turned three knives into one. I was like, "What is this, Zelda?"

Then I noticed the ferrule notch on the Deba and chuckled to myself. I've got one of those!
 
that's not how I expected you to use the big wheel...I thought you would be using the curved side and wondered how you would keep surfaces flat/convex vs concave.

What were you doing to that blade? Looked like you were maybe polishing/rounding the spine at one point?
 
i had to reshape the blade... thats what i was doing.

Everyone asks about the stone and why i use it this way. In japan there are two types of stones used in knifemaking/sharpening... one vertical (like what you had in mind) and one like mine. The vertical one is used more for rough shaping and the ura. The one like i have is used for the bevel and preparing for final sharpening. Its also used when makers do sharpening or repair. Since i'm not making blades here (yet), i use this stone.
 
Would you call this a deba with mioroshi hatsuke? Recalled you talked about this a while ago.

not quite... what we had talked about was mioroshi with deba hatsuke, but this is more like an ai-deba.
 
Loving the stone action. I am just wondering how you keep it flat. Do you use a DMT, like with a stationary stone?
 
Permanent google hang out would have been easier, wouldn't it?
 
Morning now, over here in Seoul. I wake up, check emails, and find the sharpening livestream is on! Very soothing. Time to make coffee.
