Thread: Chinese 12k stone

Slurry helps on the C12K, and as niftyshaving said, there are several ways of building it. I use an extra-fine DMT pocket hone. It's faster than using a natural nagura stone, slower than using a coarser diamond stone, but doesn't leave scratches like a coarser stone can. Some people don't mind scratches. I do.

One tip: if you do flatten the stone, you'll make a LOT of slurry in the process. Don't let it go down the drain. Save the muddy water, and when the water evaporates you'll have a nice stone dust that you can save in a baggy for making slurry in the future.
