On the subject of lapping nakayama:
So Yamashi.ta -arguably one of the most experienced experts on Japanese hones in the world- told me to use a diamond plate to lap my hones. 600 or 1000 grit is what he uses. It keeps the honing surface flat and fresh.
He laps before each honing session. I lap every couple of honing sessions, since my honing is less intensive than his. Lapping is -not- a waste of stone if you just lap until it is flat again. Because the material that is removed is typically on the surface that you don't use. If you would, then it would wear down the same as the middle of the stone.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
