Thread: Looking for a 1k

Most all who hone for very long migrate towards the Chosera 1K, no it's not cheap....but it is the best in most veteran honers eyes.

I beg of you, learn to shave first. If you have that down, learn to touch up a razor for a while. This teaches you pressure. Then, after you have that down, learn to hone.

Think about it: If you can't shave, you don't know if you have a shave ready razor in your hands or not. If you can't touch up a razor, you will never learn to set a bevel. Get where I am going here? Lets teach you to crawl, walk, then run. We can help you every step of the way & with the least amount of frustrations.

I originally started with a King 1K, but wish I just bought the Chosera off the bat. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this stone. The king works, but the Chosera works much easier at the task at hand.

Tried the Norton the Superstone, DMT 1200 and th King. My bevel setter of choice is the Chosera 1k. Worth the higher priice. Btw, the dmt was a great performer too

I started honing using a 1K Naniwa Super Stone. I replaced it with another 1K Naniwa Super Stone after reading up on the 1K Chosera and coming to the conclusion that for me it was not worth the extra money as I only do my own razors. I'll get there, a bit slower maybe, but I'll still get there.

Watch Lynn's videos on using the Super Stones if you haven't yet. What he shares is gold, they really are a great value!

I love the Chosera 1 K I now hate my Norton 1k in comparison. I use the Norton only for kitchen knives now, they all work once you get to know them. I don't have any experience with a Naniwa ss 1 k but considering the other Naniwa ss I have work very nicely im sure it will be a great stone as well.

I use the Naniwa Professional P310 (new Chosera), haven't found a better one yet.
