    Nani 12k followed with leather. RAD hit me hard and I have to quit for a while, wanting to try the nakayama's. I've had HAD once before & hope I get no relapses...not as bad as Jimmy though ;-)

    Nakayama Maruichi Asagi for me.
    Not cheap by any means, but to me it is the perfect finisher.
    Ever since I bought it, I am free of HAD. I even sold my 8x3 coticule because I hadn't used it in over a eyar since I bought the nakayama.

    Here is my post about that stone:

    Since I bought this Nakayama Maruichi from So at Japan Tool it's become my most used finisher.
