Help advice confused! I work as a cook in the kitchen. I have a tojiro vg-10 knife for cutting meat and vegetables. I want the knife to be sharp and stay sharp for a long time. I am sharpening this knife with a shapton 1k stone do I need a finishing stone to make the knife sharper ? And if I buy a finishing stone, will it be sharper but will not keep sharpness?

Please help ! What stone is good Shapton pro 5000 or suehiro rika 5000? I have Shapton pro 1000

Simple as that. Width must be minimum 2”. Thanks!

Gatco Ultimate Diamond System + Extras

I have a Gatco Ultimate Diamond System. The stone I tested was the Ultra Fine hone. Kit contents:

• GATCO exclusive six-angle knife clamp/angle guide, insures a precision honing action
• Coarse monocrystalline diamond hone
• Medium monocrystalline diamond hone
• Fine monocrystalline diamond hone
• 1200 grit ceramic finishing hone, for the ultimate finish edge
• Special serrated knife hone
• Custom case with easy to follow instructions permanently affixed to lid

Additionally I have the Easy-Grip Clamp Mount and the Fine Serrated Knife Hone. (I do appear to be missing the honing oil, not sure I ever actually had it. It is available on Amazon and I'm sure many other places.)

Price - $60 + shipping

My zip code is 80020. Happy to meet anyone within a reasonable distance if you happen to be local.

I prefer lower grit edges. It’s still in great shape. Works just how it should.

$75. Thanks for looking!

Hello everyone, I am looking to sell my Tormek T8 along with a Knife Grinders 1000 grit CBN wheel. They are both in great working condition as they haven't been used much. The standard knife jig, leather honing wheel, PA-70 compound and anglemaster are all included.

Looking for $550.

EDIT: as of 12/26/2021 the “sale” has ended. You can keep an eye on the stones with an online price tracker if you want to see when the next “sale” will be.

The abrasive gods have blessed us today! As of today (09/20/21 or 20/09/21), Naniwa Chosera is being offered at amazing prices.

The coveted 800 Chosera (with base) is currently at $69.99 (nice), while the 3000 (with base) is at $103.00. The rest of the stones should have a similar discount applied to them as well.

If you really want a naniwa gouken kagayaki, the 1000 grit in 20mm is the cheapest one that I’m looking at right now from the series ($20-29). (Search up Comolife grindstone).

The Shapton Korumakus are sitting at a pretty good prices as well. Under $50 for most of the stones, with the only stone being over $100 is the 300k grit stone. Amazon also offers kits that you can get that should save you some time.

TLDR: look up “Naniwa Chosera” or “Shapton Korumaku” on Amazon and you’ll get pretty great deals. Can’t guarantee that it’ll be the same internationally, but it’s worth a try!
