Would this be large enough? Is this one okay or should I go with one of the ginpo models?
i am returning a hasegawa cutting board. she bought me the same one one i already have.
i dont think i have time to make it out to NYC unfortunately, so i will be ordering online. that said, their umami powder looks very enticing and i think i will either go with that, or a 6k grit stone, but...
i see. i was already planning to get the 500 but that still leaves me some wiggle room since the credit is for 120 bucks and the sg500 is 44 for the regular, 63 for the double thickness
would a fine stone like a shapton rockstar 6000 do me any good ? i keep hearing people saying that high grit finishing stones like that are better for high carbon steels and not the stainless blades i already have...
yep was gonna get the 500 but that still leaves me with quite a bit of wiggle room. around 80 more dollars if i get the regular sg 500 and around 60 more if i get the 10mm double thick sg 500
Hello all.
A family friend gifted me a Hasegawa board from MTCkitchen that I already own, so I'll be returning it for credit and picking up something else.
Any suggestions on what I should get? For reference here's all my gear/stones:
Knives:
Yoshikane SKD 240mm Gyuto
Ashi Ginga Stainless...
thanks, i'm pretty settled on the ouka, but how would the sp2k an ouka compare as a finishing/touch up stone? i don't really mind soaking. i ask because they're rather similar in price point. NP3k is a bit out of my budget.
yes, this is why i was considering the hayabusa. i'm waffling between that and the rika 5k, which is about the same price. i am just a little worried that it may not give me an edge that's toothy enough? people are saying it feels more like a 6k grit stone
interesting as i've heard the exact opposite from multiple rika 5k owners - that it's a good stone for edge, but very mediocre at polishing!
gesshin is way out of my budget, i'm looking for something in the $50 usd or less range. hence why i'm considering rika 5k, hayabusa 4k, or ouka 3k.
the hayabusa looks good and on budget for me! honestly i just wanted something to a) further refine the edge after the 1k (not that the 1k edge isn't sharp enough, i would just like to experience a slightly more refined edge) and b) have a stone to do light touchups between sharpening sessions...
