Hair whittling for the first time, I've used this Ohishi SLD Santoku for about 3 weeks 5 or so hours a day, decided to sharpen it today as it felt like the strop wasn't enough. Lite passes on a 1000 the 6000 Amazon cheapo stone then stropped on the green sharpal crap and 1mic diamond emulsion

It shaved out of the box but wouldn't whittle hair, really can't underestimate how much the strop does
