My 4/8 Norton lives in the water, Has for ten years?
Cannot do that with the Naniwas,
Much of what I did not like about mid-range Naniawas makes the Norton 4/8 superior.
Not that they are better....
I am just Lazy! :)
The Nanis are indispensable from bevel-setting(Chosera 1k), refining (Naniwa 1k),
Until finishing some on the 12k. I have not the patience to do the middle with them.
Just lazy! The old 4/8 fills the bill for me.
