Sharpening a Nigara White #2 gyuto on a Takashima Hon Suita koppa(small stone) Lv. 4 hardness. This stone is definitely on the harder side and is slow to release particulate. Raising some mud using a fine nagura stone compliments the sharpening experience very well. This stone is not an exceptionally fast cutter given its fineness but it does polish hagane rather quickly and creates an incredibly sharp cutting edge, therefore I feel conditioning the stone beforehand was unnecessary since the purpose of this session was edge refinement and not aesthetic polishing. This was not so much a full sharpening session, rather a removal of the primary burr and ensuring a complete apex across the entire edge from heel to tip. An amazing knife deserves an equally amazing edge.

Apologies for the poor audio. There is an imbalance in the stone that the microphone picked up. There was no wobble during the session, so I went on ahead with the recording. Thanks for watching!
