LouT, it is very likely to be time consuming on the 1k if you have breadknifed. We all know this feeling & sometimes a coarser stone is better in the early stages but you will get there.
I think your Arkansas stones will be of little use if you find the Norton slow. Back in the 80's I used to hone with Arkansas stones.
W a s h i t a stones are relatively fast for low grit work but not a patch on say, DMT's..
I'd get a King 4k to go between your 1k & 6K but that's kinda stating the obvious. You could maybe try light strokes on the Hard Arkansas to finish after 6K but I used to find a Black Arkansas the best finisher.
A known progression of grits makes things simpler tho.Last edited by onimaru55; 01-18-2009 at 11:46 PM.
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
