Group Photos first , then we will break everything down.





So what do we want to look at first? Compounds?

Poly , 1u , 2u and 4u


AlOx , 1u , 0.3u , 0.05u


Boron Carbide , 0.5u


Then theres corresponding strops for the compounds nanocloth for poly , roo for the boron carbide , AlOx and some stuff coming in pt 3.




A large 3x11" roo strop , mounted on glass , This is for my straight , debating whether to leave it bare or use some 0.05 AlOx on it...


Kens upgraded HD diamond films mounted on glass. These have a myriad of improvements over the intial run Mark got , heavier duty film , upgraded glue , texturized glass for better bonding. And they work quickly! These things destroy shaptons when dealing with "super steels"


Moving on to stones heres some Nubatama stones , moving left to right , 24 , 60 , 150 , 2k speckled (brand new) , and the 2k grey.


Close up of the 24 and the 60


Heres an interesting stone , this is the HanHan , this is the only stone I know of that blends synthetic and Japanese natural abrasives , fwiw none of the synthetic Aotos conatin any natural stone...


While we are on the topic of Jnats , heres a Mukaida w/ matching Tomonagura


And an 8k Snow White Tomonagura and Tajima Tomonagura , to correspond with my current stones.


I also tracked down a granite base for my EP , best part FREE!
 
So yeah when can I come over? ? Haha

Btw I have a hanhan stone as well, I am unfamiliar with the curved face of the stone so I am practicing on older kitchen knives.

Haha , I am always up for entertaining , we can always chat about knives over drinks and cigars. Or you can bring some of your knives and try out some stuff. Im pretty easy going.

With the HanHan , mine didn't come with the rounded portion , I know some of them do though. Such a cool stone , I flattened it and texturized it last night (along with all the new jnats) smooth as glass now , smells pretty cool too. Do you know the history behind the stone?
