Or the engineers at Suehiro. They seem to have modeled the Gokumyo stone(s) to mimic the desirable qualities of a natural stone, undoubtedly a JNat. That means they had to know what physical attributes equated to a desirable feeling edge!

Maybe things like not just the grit size but shape? Certainly the matrix of the G20k is harder than any JNat I've ever had or heard about so they didn't mimic that. And so on.
