You did mention it that day. I was very distracted at the meetup. To much amazing razor goodness happening around me.

$15 with shipping.. it on the way from OH.

I have a Shapton 1k! They are very aggressive, pretty hard and leaves a very fine scratch pattern, if it didn't clog up with harder steels I would not have purchased the Chosera 1k. If you have harder steels I would not go for it Harts, PRCs etc is my point.

The 1k Shap Pro leaves deep scratches & is not an ideal bevel setter for razors. It is great for speedy edge repair, however it requires dilligent mid stage work to prevent a chippy edge.

Ah, different kettle of fish

I have the glass Shapton 500,1,4,8,16 , I sold the 30k.
And the Chosera 1,5,10k.

The Shapton range I use for knives only now, apart from the 500k which I use for serious chips and alike.
I moved to the Chosera range and never looked back.

However I now hone exclusively on jnats , my Chosera range is deader than my Shapton range.
Excluding the 1k of course.

I have become quite fond of the Naniwa Traditional 1K stone. Excellent bevel setter! Feels more like an old waterstone but functions and results similar to the other Naniwas. Very nice price point on this one.

Have fun.

Funny you mention this stone...plan on ordering one tonight while I'm putting in my honing cert from the SR the wife got me!

It must be a sign!

I'm curious to read the difference (speed, feedback, feel, etc) between the Naniwa 1K Chosera and the Naniwa 1K Super / Specialty Stone.

Has anyone used both?

Regards,
Chris

I have. "BIG"!! difference three times faster, cleaner stria, (even). Wished I'd got it about a hundred razors ago, that's for sure
