What you are describing sounds like a wire edge, which a Jnat can't produce when used with slurry.
I would suggest forget the Nakayama for now and learn how to get good edge from an 8k stone, then start learning how to use the Jnat after that.
This is really interesting, if a wire edge will not under any circumstances develope while using slurry, I should be able to go on honing with the final tomo slurry until achieving the polished smooth edge, whitout worrying about over honing? Of course I have to make sure my bevel is as it should,coming off the 8k first, but if I can produce a bevel that shaves comfortably off the 8k, then maybe I'll try the Nakayama.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction
I've been shaving of my naniwa and shapton edges for some years now, the new challenge is natural stones. I will definately look again at the bevelsetting stage, and try the Nakayama after 8k instead of 4k.
