Sold this Konosuke YS-M 240 yesterday. Sharpened it before. Made this little video to persuade the masses:

The machi is pretty horrible, and there is no much of neck. Wanna keep the og look so just cut a little to have a even machi height.

Dude, grinding that pad off sucks so bad!
It's not so bad, it started happening after I worked most of the aggressive particles off the SP120
It looks like you added your own Kanji 
Put a fresh edge today on this 180 that I got from BST a while ago. It’s sharp.
Ah yes, the One Knuckle Test. Are you familiar with the Index Fingernail Test? I certainly am.
The translation says "Bernal"It looks like you added your own Kanji
Sharpening some dull and slightly damaged knives.
Atoma 140, SG 500, Venev 400/800.
Also realized I'm avoiding the middle of the stone?

I'll swap you my dished stones for your reverse dished stones every couple of months and neither of us will have to flatten.
Is that related to the "fingernail shaving garnish?"Ah yes, the One Knuckle Test. Are you familiar with the Index Fingernail Test? I certainly am.
on a more serious note: thank goodness for fingernails! Fingernails, that evolutionary stride that prevented chefs from chopping off their fingertips and later dying from gangrene.

Gotta be a better name for it. "man, you're doming your stones again"....?
In the razor world they call them convex stones. And some people really like them that way.
I accidentally convexed my naniwa ss 2k by trying to keep it flat with a dished shapton glass 500.
Guys these freaking bevels.
Fixing weird tip on denka.
NP400 not quite fast enough

Just got my first jnat (Aiiwatani from JNS), and tried it out yesterday on a Matsubara bunka. Didn't do a great job on removing scratches on the previous stones, so there is still some scratches. I like the satin(?) finish on the core tho..
Nice contrast! Is it one of those lvl 2.5 ones? I’d love a few stones from there but the duties scare me.

Stainless cladding likes mud. I like the contrast there, and the core is real nice. IDK perhaps you could raise a thicker slurry and see what happens. It really looks like it could do very well, that stone.
I have no idea what 90x means, but I have an inkling it’s not coarse enough.
Gotta go 36 grit shredder on the vfd. It’s the only way
Clearly
