Moderating harshness w/ the c12k
Janivar, I've been somewhat consumed w/ learning a new asagi, but just before it arrived, I too had very sharp but harsh edges from the c12k.
My stone had the black tiger-stiped veins on one side but not the other. I use the striped side for normal honing. I do use slurry to speed things up a bit. On the other side, I drew a diamond shaped cross-hatch pattern with one of the short fat crayons of Crox sold through SRD. By having the crox on the stone, you do edge-leading strokes and avoid the frail edge syndroe of the crox strops. It did smooth things out quite a bit.
