I know this honing thing we like is a very YMMV thing. I am curious as to what type of stone you have no interest in and why.

I'll start things off. I have never used a Japanese Natural and don't plan on ever acquiring one. There are way too many variations out there and I don't feel comfortable picking one with the chance that it's good for the money the bring I want a good one. Other then that I really have no interest in them..

What about you?
