Might be selling my current naniwa 8k (with naniwa 3k I got them as set but they are thin ones and I like to hand hone, Had few close calls better safe then sorry). I was just going to get the thick SS naniwa 8k but wanted to ask if anyone thought I should look at another stone first.

I have plenty of naturals and don't really need the 8k synth. I have chosera 1k, ss5k, and ss 12k (these are regular thick ones)
Although I want 8k synthetic just as benchmark when testing any other naturals that might catch my eye.

Preferably looking for splash and go
was thinking about also looking at shapton water stones or maybe the snow white but I hear it needs to soak. Also I think there is a naniwa fuji that is suppose to be another 8k?

Although at end of day it is just an 8k and I will probably just wait for one on BST or a sale to grab a splash n go 8k that is thick enough for hand honing. I do like to hear what the people of SRP have to say
