I know Naniwa (not sure if correct spelling) makes a good one. But I'm looking for like the Escher of a 1,000 grit hone. Just started not to long ago restoring razors and now it's yet another thing to be addicted to. Ha but yes please let me know the "Escher" of a 1000k bevel stone. Thanks so much
The word on the street is the Chosera 1k. That is my personal favorite.
No need to argue with Jimmy, the Chosera 1K is the Escher of bevelsetters, I just got a second one so I have one with and one without stand.
the pro honer's use the chosera 1k
Us wanna bees use 'em too ...... :rofl2:Quote:

as a good friend of mine told me..DMT1200 Diamond Plate.."gets the job done quick if you own less than 10 razors of your own"...:rofl2:
I have yet to try the Chosera, but my favorite of the ones I've tried is the King 1k(though I might like the King 800 a little better).
I am with vasilis on this one.
Nubatama Ume aint bad either
I ordered my very own Chosera 1k today. :) thanks to all. I'll update later
I made a resolution when the j-nat revolution started .... if I can't pronounce it, I ain't buyin' it ! :rofl2:Quote:

I’d actually purchased the stone to try on finishing professional quality knives on.
I didn’t like the results and stuck with my classic Norton Tri Stone using oil.
Good thing that I saved it! That was years and years before I found the wonderful world of shaving with a straight!
With all this said, I love working with that stone! :tu
