    I really worked wonders for me. The 12k by itself wasn't touching the edge of that F&R. I didn't think it would without probably hours of honing. That lil' Nagura slurried me up a serious cuttin' mix.

    Does that slurry come from nagura or hone? Or is it a mixture?

    Depends how hard the slurry stone is. The only way to find out is to raise some slurry and look at the color it makes. I don't think it matters though as the results were good. Slurry works great. Most natural stone are used with slurry stones.

    It is an Artificial Nagura a Synthetic slurry stone, it is pretty soft, so it breaks down easily it will release a great cutting slurry and mix with grit released from the Hone, these are tricks to get more out of a one stone/hone system...

    People tend to forget or never learn that slurry can be generated and used on many Synthetics hones too, it is just another tool in the bag.. if you have a progression you don't need to use it but if you learn to use slurries it adds to the honing arsenal...

    That's the information I was looking for, thank you. Some man made stones come with slurry stone (like Gokumyo), but I have never tried them. Might do so sometime.

    Always pleasure to read and learn how you guys approach the subject.

    Understanding the utility of slurry really has me almost believing that I just might be able to take an edge from a King 1k to bevel set straight to the 12k with a series of slurry progression right on up to "clean" water then CrOx, strop and shave. Seeing Lynn and Glen's video on "One Stone Honing"(actually 2. One bevel setter and another), really has me asking the question:

    Have I been inhaling the Blue Magic or is this feasible?
