The "DualStones" are in!!

Report to follow.

The HAD never goes away... it lingers. It bides it’s time. It tells me that these stones larger siblings must surely be worthy too. Lol, it is a sickness.

Dude, I SO get the 8” thing. As do so...

Update 2/3:

I got my second Suehiro stone in today! Woot!

297403

It’s a 280/1,000 combo stone.

Comes with a nice little rubber thing to hold her down. It’s a nice touch.

I used it again tonight on a very stubborn knife of questionable metal. This time I didn’t soak it, I just sprayed it. I noted the water never pooled on any spray until it was “ready” to go. In...

I got my little 1K/3K stone in today! Woot!

Just a quick FYI, if you want to trace over the copy with a permanent marker so you’ll never forget what side is what, do it right away. A...

Thank you for your concern. Though I certainly didn’t “need” the stones I’ve been buying, they aren’t altering my quality of life in any negative way. What might though, is buying more...

It’s remarkable how on board I am with you on the size thing. I’ve slowly begun to amass a a collection of 6” x 2” everything. I have a complete set of Arks in 6x2, the DMTs in 6x2, a Coti as close...

That's hilarious. Aside from the Dual Stones I ordered, I just ordered the stone you’re talking about to use exclusively with my knives. And a 280/1K grit. I have a 200 and a 400 Nani, but I kind...

When I soak my Nani’s, the water pools a bit longer on top of the stone and the cutting is way smoother I feel. Way less of a granular feel. I know it’s dumb, but I swear it works better.

That’s...

Fantastic! Did you take a blade to it after the soak?

Am I losing my mind or were we not at one time told to soak our Nani stones?

I put about an inch of water in my relatively large kitchen sink and then place my 10K in with the face (cutting side) down. The water drains slowly so... if you do forget, it's not a repeat of my...

Dude, you're killing me lol. We've already established you are more than a pretty face and yet, it's my higher grit stones that I have to soak! Too darn funny.

Hey do you "figure 8" before or after the soak?

That's interesting - now don't get me wrong, I have no idea what I'm talking about because, well, I don't have one, but here goes.

Back when I got my Nani's, I used to soak my stones before...

I’ll be happy to! According to the store, they take about two weeks before even shipping! I did get expedited shipping though, so hopefully in three weeks?

Either way, I can tell you what I...

Many men here do. Myself included, even though I don’t have one. Speedster sent me a honed blade finished on one and... dang!

There’s probably a few of you, us, who know of the Suehiro Gokumyo. A great series of ceramics ranging in grits from 600, to the cherished 20,000.
