Not really fair to compare a Jnat to an arkie. They work differently(one is pure abrasive the other is abrasive in binder). To max out your Jnat you need to produce a slurry and break it down fully then look at the scratch pattern, it will be MUCH finer than what you get on plain water. It is also how they are intended to be used to be used for razors.(Traditionally)

This is the one I used to hone this razor, it's 7" combo with a coticule, the coticule isn't very fine but it's moderate on everything, however the RDS is very nice hard finishing stone.





As for the comparing the Jnats to the Arkansas stone, it is done for fun only the mean goal of the post is to share my new Jnat, actually the Jnat performed amazingly good the overall bevel is more consistent while the Arkansas couldn't remove the deeper scratches due it slow cutting speed, however I think using a fine Jnat slurry stone on my Translucent Arkansas give always a better results than the same slurry stone on a Jnat.
