OMG I haven't watched or read anything about how to sharpen a cleaver but today I learned that the way I have been doing it is close to what you're doing. I even change hands to match the side. Nice!

Very good point about polishing stones... I use 4k, 6k, and 8k Sharpton glass and for awhile I was pressing too hard and the edge didn't benefit as much as it should have until I realized what I was doing wrong and from then on I use light pressure if any particularly when using these higher mesh ceramic stones and now achieve incredible razor sharpness. Thanks for the video

[johnduffy]

What would be the difference between this and say a nakiri or even different meat cleavers (chinese style for example). I'm asking both on sharpening technique and qualities of the knife.

Would short strokes help with swords with curved edges? I don't have a sword but I do have coldsteel knives

Hey korin knives. when using a polishing stone for cleavers, is it worth using a nagura as well or is it not overly important?

I wonder do I need to use grit 300 along to 1000 and 8000 every time? Is it possible to just use 1000 or 8000 for daily maintainance?
