So I understand 3k might be good as my only stone, but which would work better in 1k _k 8k? 3k or 5k?

I have that grit chart, I'll post it here.
Well if you wanted to have a similar experience as with a Norton 4/8 it would seem from the chart that a 2k or 3 and a 5k would give the same results as the Norton pyramid. Of course the chart addresses the Shapton compared to the Norton and the DMT. The Naniwa isn't included but it may be safe to assume that they being Japanese stones will have a similar grit rating.
