i have my c12k *(love it.... with a couple of caveats).....

i lapped it flat when i got it.... but when i am honing my kami i notice that the blade wants to "stick" to the flat surface of the stone.... and unless i am very deliberate with my movement the blade will almost want to skip from the sticktion..... i use filtered water and have even went as far as putting a drop of dish soap in the water to see if the added lubrication would help smooth it out...

also i seem to get a lot of small grit particles on the face and if i am not careful they will scratch the face of the stone.... they always seem to catch on the spine side of the blade so i haven't noticed them screwing up my edges... but they are a pain.... what can be done for this???
if needed i can make a short video or take photos of this phenomena for better understanding....

thanks in advance...
