Thread: Why do es everyone perfer the Chosera 1k above the Super stone

Just speaking from my own personal experience ..... I liked the naniwa 1k SS well enough. I had the Shapton pro 1k and 2k. I liked them well enough too and all of those better than the norton 1k. Lynn and Dylan really praised the chosera and I got curious enough to go for it.

I sold my naniwa ss and my shapton pros. Gave away my norton 1k to a new guy. The chosera was just so much more to my liking. Notice I said to my liking ...... I didn't say "better."

Now it is better for me, but might be different for someone else. All I can say is that for the feel of the blade on the rock, the speed with which it cuts and it seems to me that it doesn't do more to the bevel than it needs to.

For example the shapton pro 1k felt so rough that I always brought the blade to the 2 to smooth it out before going on up the grit ladder. I didn't feel the need to do that with the super stone and I don't with the chosera. It cuts fast and if you want more cutting power the rubbing stone that comes with it will be like feeding it steroids.

Nothing 'wrong' with the super stone and since you already have it ..... enjoy it. It is a great stone too.
