Aren't these too near each other?
Couldn't be an 1/5/8 (or 10/12) K enough to get a good polished bevel?
I go 1k to Jnats..You cannot compare Synthetic stones to jnats because synthetics are about removing steel & striations where as Jnats work in a different way and each one works differently.
I have a Nakayama Hon Suita which goes from 1k bevel set to full Kasumi finish drop dead edge on a wedge within 15 laps, nearly no swarf..
Thanks
