Let me start off by saying I'm new to honing. I needed a touching up stone and after watching a bunch of videos I figured it was between the Naniwa ss 12000 or Shapton 16000. I went with the Naniwa and it arrived today. I opened the box expecting to see a pinkish stone but it was white and said "New Ceramics". Is this Naniwa's response to the Shapton 16000?
