https://mtckitchen.com/collections/donabe-pots-other-pots/products/new-kinka-gold-x-black-donabe-earthenware-pot-57-fl-oz-8-7-dia Would this be large enough? Is this one okay or should I go with one of the ginpo models?

i'm not big on serving vessels/plates/bowls, but a donabe is something i had not considered. which would you recommend if i'm usually cooking for 3-4?

wait, really? then what's the point of high grit stones?

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...

if the sp2000 and sg3000 are both acting like 3000, what do you mean by "better finish" ?

Is there a reason you guys rec sp2k and not sg2k?

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...

i've heard some talk from others that 2-3k stones won't feel much different from my shapton 1k and that a 5k stone would be better for refining my edge. thoughts? chosera is a little out of my budget, i'd probably be looking at either SP2K, SP5K, rika 5k, or ouka 3k. i don't mind soakers, esp...

thoughts on rika 5k? i ask because it's quite a bit cheaper than many other stones in this grit category.

Hey guys, still very new to sharpening and still need more practice but I'm looking into what I would need for the future. The only stone I have right now is a Shapton 1k Pro and an Atoma 140 for flattening. I also have a rather small and probably low quality 120/240 stone I got from Japan Home...

i see! that's see easy to miss .... do i need to do anything more? i'm just worried i took off too much material, as you can see in the initial chip pic where the cladding line meets the spine...

thanks! you can tell a difference? because i can barely tell lol
