Thanked: 67A couple of JNat questions...
My understanding is that Kitta and Asagi refer to appearance, and not "grit". If that's the case case, then how can one refer to a Nakayama Asagi as being finer, or not, than a Kitta? Wouldn't that be similar to saying that a red Pontiac is faster than a blue Pontiac?
Also... Lynn made mention of doing one-stone honing on a few JNats. My understanding is that a Botan nagura has a "grit" of approximately 8k, and that the other naguras used in a finishing progression are finer. If that is the case, what naguras are used on the Asewedo to set the bevel and sharpen?
Thanks,
M
