Shapton Kuromaku 1500 grit blue stone. One of the better bang-for-your-buck whetstones out there.
This grit level is right in the sweet spot for kitchen knives and the kind of edge mixed-use cutting does well with. Smooth enough for good push-cuts and enough bite for slicing soft material like beef. It also sharpens steel up to and including those around 2% vanadium!
Long lasting, inexpensive, and high-value, this is an easy stone to recommend!

Nice demo of a cool stone! I'll test the water for my knife friends to see what their stomach for sharpening is.

I have both the 1k and 2k and on I'm on the fence if I should fill the gap with the 1.5k. I believe I read something about the 1500 being designed with stainless steel in mind. Thanks for sharing!

It is a great stone. If you’re progressing grits for straight razors, it might be useful. Otherwise the 1 and 2K stones probably do fine. The cost of the stone and quick cutting it provides make it a personal preference regarding your money and time. Thanks for watching! 👍🏼🙏🏼🖖🏻

Do you think it would be ok for me, newbie, to just start with this 1500 instead of 1000 as my first stone? 1500 is a lot cheaper than 1000 rn. Thanks!

Depends on what you’re sharpening. Lots of chips or very dull, no I don’t recommend it. If you have factory edges and you sharpen them regularly before they get bad, then yes. It’s a rough 1500, very similar to a 1200 stone or a smooth 1000. It could be your only stone if you sharpen regularly and have a strop! Chips, edge rolls and that sort of thing will take forever, but it can be done. I would recommend a lower grit if you’re learning though. A 4-600 may be better. It takes less strokes to get a good result, which is less opportunity for mistakes.a good edge happens at lower grit and then is refined on the higher grit. If you’re looking to put new edges on your knife, or learn how to get a good edge, I’d recommend the 320 Shapton or the 300 King stone if you’re looking to go inexpensive. The King Deluxe 300 can be found for under $30 on Amazon. It’s as good as the Shapton, is thicker, and is splash and go. If you want to just take a factory edge or lightly dull edge to very fine and slicey, the 1500 Shapton is fantastic and can be found for a decent price online! If you don’t already have a stone holder, get a Shapton for the useable case to hold the stone with plenty of knuckle clearance. Hope that helps! I’m working on a technique video series so stay tuned! 👍🏼🙏🏼🖖🏻

@@adoseofdrew i went ahead and got a shapton 1000. You are right. I need a lower grit one lol.. its taking me forever and because of my lack of skill, there are just too many things I need to practice.

@@brovet78 King 300 is an inexpensive option from Amazon that’ll help a lot! Just don’t drop your axes or hatchets on it like I did mine 😂🥲😱
