If I would ask which brand of 1k do you like best, most of us would respond that the Chosera 1k is the ideal bevel setter. We've heard this one many times.

But which brand of 3/4/5k do you prefer?

And which brand of 8k do you prefer?

And when we get to the 12k most of us will say the naniwa 12k.
As far as the 3/4/5k, I will say I prefer the 3k Jnat I got recently from Sham and as far as the 5k, I much prefer the BBW.

And I definitely prefer the Norton 8k

And again the naniwa 12k.

So my main question here is which stones do you personally prefer between the 1k and the 12k. What does it best for you?......

Again, for me it's the Jnat 3k, the BBW and Norton 8k.
