So, I just wanted to share my revelry, and ask a quick question..

Revelry: I just got my first set of hones... I had gotten some fantastic lessons and hands on experience in honing (Thanks again, Lynn!) but, until now, had no hones of my own... I just sent in to SRD for a set of Naniwas in 1k, 5k, and 8k, along with a DMT 325 Continuous for lapping (They are currently out of 12ks, but I'll have one once they're back in stock). Can't wait!

The question: I have a Keen Kutter barber's hone that I've been using for touchups (soon to be replaced by the 12k)... Will I be fine going from the naniwa 8k (Superstone, for what it's worth) to the Keen Kutter until I can get the 12k? I believe the KK is 10k-ish.... And, be it Keen kutter or N12k, It will be followed by .5micron diamond spray on hard wool felt...

Thanks guys!

Cheers,
Jeremy`
