If you don't plan on soaking the stone, and I don't know why you would, then I don't think there is any need to seal the edges.

Poor Stu... I HAD to laugh. Been there. Done that. Somebody give the poor bloke a nagura to mess around with... I know who you can send the stone to if you want and honest evaluation, freight is cost prohibitive anymore though... London RazorCon guys will be able to offer insight...

Good luck.

Mike I'm with you, with a light slurry from a DN a fine asagi should be polishing out 6 or 8k scratches within 30 short strokes, and from there on it is refining the edge. After another 20 with the slurry and 20 light strokes with clear water you should be ready to strop. alx

Agreed. If it's as hard as you say, water will likely just sit on it for hours without soaking in. However I have to admit all my Jnats bar one are sealed Originally Posted by Utopian
