Hi all, new guy Anyway, I have a chromium oxide leather strop, 0.3 micron aluminum oxide lapping film, and about 4 dozen carats of 0.25 micron diamond powder, as well as an online shopping cart with 0.5 & 0.1 diamond lapping film in it

Anyway, I was wondering if it is worth it to get a Japanese natural hone to follow my King 8K or Chinese 12K, or should I stick with what I've got (or got coming). I rely on edge trailing strokes now, so as not to cut the leather or film, and thought the stone would be a nice change.

From what I can find online, it looks like I would be looking for Asagi, Kiita, maybe Karasu, to beat out 30K. My per stone budget is ~$200 What's the consistency in grit? That's the biggest factor in determining if I'm going to order one online.
