Hi everybody,
I need your help to find a very cood two stone set which I can use at work for my knifes. (Japanese restaurant)
I feel that I am getting fairly good at sharpening double and single bavel knives. So far I have been using the stones we have at work. A 3000/6000 stone of unknown manufacturer and a 10000 which I believe is a Imanishi Ceramik. I only use the 3000 and finish on the 10000. The 3000 seems a lot coarser than labeled. I cuts quite aggressively and a burr is formed quickly.
The 10000 gives a great mirror finish but sometimes I think it might be a little to much?
I use my knives every day at work and I sharpen them one to two times a week depending on the knife.
The knives I use are: Takamura Santoku stainless, 270mm sujihiki, 270mm yanagiba, 210mm Deba (all white steel and house brand from kappabashi shops)
I plan on getting a 270mm Gyuto soon but I am not sure about steel yet. Might be Aogami Super, swedish steel or shirogami.
I would like stones that I can use well with all my knives and that give me quick and good results. Time to sharpen is always limited since a have to do it in between prep and service.
I love taking time when sharpening my knives but it is simply not possible at work and because of that I want to limit my self to a two stone set.
I have a Imanishi Ceramik 8000 lying around which I could use but I am not sure if I want to find a stone to go along with it or a completely new set.
I have been looking at the JNS stone which look very interesting. Any other ideas on stone which might fit my needs nicely?
Thanks a lot
John
