Thread: Help with JNAT

I would be thrilled to if the U.S actually made some high end stones. I'm sure a lot of us would....

You my friend sound like a wood worker, correct? I had a good friend on here a while ago, sent me some beautiful pieces of wood to make scales out of, which I never did. It's still in the workshop, Project #107 or something like that.

Did you read Glen's (Gssixgun) post about smoothness? That's what this is all about. Not how keen we can get it, or how sharp, but that delicate balance inbetween. That's where the magic is. If you can get a razor deadly sharp, and still shave like a velvet squegee, than you need to be honing professionally, or just enjoy your killer shaves.

I think performance does draw people to Jnats. They're legandary for that. That new Suehiro seems to deliver. As far the stropping compounds and grit sizes, I think, and I could be wrong that it has do with smoothness. Some of them leave a very very harsh edge, like Diamond compound for instance. When you get to the .25 stuff.

You saying that stones can't come close to the stropping compounds in terms of fineness? They have a much smaller grit? Again, i would say smoothness....

Is that what your talking about? I work nights, and just got up, my brain is not fully awake, still drinking coffee....

Thanks Jimmy....

BTW, I'm with Jimmy, I'm not up on all the grit sizes and terms, etc...but I'll still try to help you the best I can.
