I have a lot of stones, mainly bevel setters, and a CH12k. I am looking for a stone in between bevel setting, and finishing.

I will be honing for myself, and for others too after I have mastered my new hone. So the best would be a hone that is easy to use, and I can get a good edge with it in a reasonable time, so I can go to the CH12k afterwards. I am not a pro yet, but I can get a good edge on my razors. I won't hone too many razors a day, so the hone will see only moderate use for now. I know how to lap, and I have the right stuff for that.

I read a lot of threads about these hones, so I know their main attributes. I only want to know what the pros and honemeisters here would buy in my place. The King stick out as it is the cheapest by far, out of the more expensive hones the nani is about 15-20 dollars more than the DMT and Norton.

So if you could share your opinions on my hone choice, I would appreciate it!
