Of course you can . The only thing is you will lose time.
if you have enough time then go head and enjoy.
is this advisable? Absolutely No

I just did it the other day. Just takes a while. I normally use a D8C or a 1k, but I thought I'd give the 3k a shot. It works fine, just takes longer.

thanks guys. Sounds like I should get a 1K for it. Obviously I'm a first timer but it's like swimming I guess. Enough reading about the strokes, need ot jump in. Here's some pics of the rust cleaned off razor I want to get into shave shape.

At one time the Norton 4K was the lowest grit hone I had and I set many a bevel with it. It was a long miserable job and I wouldn't want to do it like that again but yes it can be done.

I can buy another hone so if that 1K is important for this it sounds like everyone's counsel is to spend the 40 bucks and get the hone, ja?

You'll never regret getting the naniwa 1k superstone.

Is the 1k Big Brick (in classified) comparable to the Naniwa for this purpose?

I don't know the King stone. I do get great results with the naniwa.

I have a king 1k that I got from Lee Valley. Works pretty good in my opinion, but then I haven't had any other 1ks to compare it to.

I do love my nanis (3k and 8k). If I were to do it again I might have gone with the 1k in that line as well.

You might also want to think about a D8C. I spent about a year without one, and now that I have one, I am not sure how I lived without it. You can lap stones with it and set bevels. If you are strapped for cash, I would recommend the D8C over the 1k stone. Especially since it sounds like you already have a 3k stone.

320 - 3k is a big step, but the flexibility of the D8C might be worth it.
