Thread: Which DMT to get?

If I had to keep just the one setup, I would keep the Naniwas. I was only looking at the DMT for lapping +/- building a slight slurry on the Naniwas

Your way ahead of the game. I have been playin with this stuff for three years and just bought my nanawa 1k and the the superstones and have found the other stones are fun but the japanese ceramic stones are all that is necessary. The difference in a usable edge and a perfect edge now is not getting more rocks, it is refining your skill level.

I slurry the 1k and never slurry the other ceramics.

As for lapping your hones, The DMT8C is all you really need but I also have an extra course that comes in handy for stones that are really unflat. The DMT8c is a staple lapper around here.
In my opinion the sandpaper thing is a joke. It just doesn't work for me.
