Is it possible to create a good contrast between the Hagane and Jigane on a yanagiba using synthetic whetstones? If so, how? What grit is ideal? etc
Once you start to get higher up in the grid the constrast tends to get muted.
@ThEoRy is that a primary bevel with only very little angle difference, hamaguriba-like? Or is that nearly zero ground with some kind of masking material used?
I don't know what a masking material is or how that would work. I just did a hamaguriba edge. I get the blade road how I like it then change the pressure points from behind the shinogi line then down to behind the edge. Check my YouTube channel and see yanagiba and deba sharpening.
