I have an inquiry in to Japan Woodworker about which of their stones would feel most like a natural. They have a "Debado" 2000 stone, the Bester (which gets good reviews on the "Foodie Forums"), "Dragon" stones (which "are the best abrasives for sharpening A2 HSS blades". Since I don't know steel that well, I don't know what that tells me), and the Shaptons. They also carry the synthetic Aotos.
Which Shaptons? glass or ceramic? I am concerned I will have the same problem with feel I have with my DMT.
