Japanese Knives Finally- Gesshin Jinzo Aoto (synthetic aoto)

[labor of love]

Hey Jon, I was interested in getting a Jinzo aoto. Ive been looking around the forum for examples of the finish it leaves on large bevel gyutos and I havent been able to find any photos. Do you happen to have any pics, or could somebody steer me towards an example of the finish? Thank you.

For the finish I used a King 800 THEN the Jinzo Aoto.

Yeah I already use the king 800. Im looking for a suitable stone to use after it.

sorry i didnt get to this sooner, but rick's photos show the gist of it. I have similar results without the king first though.

Its all good. So using Jinzo after something like a gesh 400(my thinning stone) isnt a problem?

Not at all

I also used the Gesshin 400 prior to the king.
