Thread: Mirrored Jnat

I agree with Gssixgun about using an Arkansas stone. I've been using one myself to remove the gunk on my naniwa superstones, and to finish the faces of the charnley forest hones I was making earlier in the year. The arkie is so damn hard that most stones will yield to them. And it takes a hell of a lot of abuse to make one dish.

You might also consider running your stone progression on the Jnat. If your Jnat is flat then using a 1, 3, 5, 8, 12K just spending a couple of minutes with each stone on the Jnat should put some polish back. It certainly shouldn't damage your hones provided there all flat to begin with. Just make sure you do it under running water and you keep both stones nice and flat. It might also be worth just knocking the sharp edges off the Jnat with The diamond plate so you don't go gouging your rotation.
