Which Naniwa SS for sharpening?

3K or 5K? (Isn't it hard when there's no 4K...)

Either will work fine in your progression from a 1K to set the bevel to the 8K and then on to your finishing stone and media if you use any.

The choice is yours...............:)

Have fun,

Lynn

Thank you.

Is there any particular value in going including both the 3K and 5K? I currently use 1-3-8-12. Would including the 5 make any substantial difference or improvement?

offshoot,

Like Lawson, I also use the 1-3-8-12 sequence of Naniwas, which I find suits me the best.

I have also tried the 1-5-10/1-5-12 sequence, but preferred the above :)

Have fun !

Best regards

Russ

I've got the 1/3/8/12k set of Naniwas and they give just as good an edge as the 1/4/8/16k Shaptons IMO.

I dont know if having the 5k would make any difference, other than you'd be spending less time on the 3k and more on the 5k.
