Could you explain what it was you did to get those knives back into shape? I'm sure a lot of people would be interested.
Very nice work.
What can you tell me about the stone in the Santoku after pic?

Update:
Today I restored a Misono UX10 with the Hilti WFO-280. Maybe the video is interesting for someone.

I have made a new full restoration video of a Kiya Nihonbashi Nakiri knife. Maybe it´s interesting for someone.
Step1:
Remove dirt and rust with a rust eraser
Notification:
If rust is under the handle, remove it!
Step2:
Remove Chips with a water cooled grinding wheel (90° angle).
Step3:
3.1 Remove scratches with a sander. I tighten a sander up side down in a vise.
3.1 Beginning sanding with ~P240 water resistant sand paper and a few drops of water! Never use to much water! Take care there is no water inside elektrical parts!
3.2 If there is a similar scratch patern change paper do next grid! I go 240->400->600->800->1500->2000->3000->5000
Notification: P2000 = ~8000 japanese stone
3.3 polish with chrom metall polish
Step4:
sharpening -> finish
Notification:
If you have a damascus knife you must etch it after sanding and before the polish paste. Maybe i make a video next time.
Just out of curiousity, did you have to use multiple sheets of each grit sandpaper for the misono restoration, or was one sheet at each grit sufficient? I am going out to buy sandpaper in that grit progression today.
