Thread: Bevel setters!

Christmas is around the corner and I'm asking the parental units for a bevel setter!

Please chime in and let me know your feelings. I'm torn between Naniwa SS, Chosera, Shapton and a few other 1k stones. I've read through some previous posts that were from some time back and want to know what people are thinking NOW.

IF you were to buy a NEW 1k stone, what would it be and why? If money was no issue, which would you pick?

Enlighten me and maybe make me aware of some other manufacturers as well!

So far i've seen the: Wustoff, Boker, Shapton pro/glass/japanese, Naniwa, Chosera. I know there are a few others but can't remember the names.

Thanks for your help guys.!

If money is no issue I would go for the Chosera.

After reading multiple threads, that seems to be the popular choice! Thanks for your input

If the parentals are buying, go the Chosera, I did. (birthday)

I have both a King 1k and a Naniwa SS 1k. I will says that the King is really fast & has an "abrasive" feel to it, while the Naniwa is much more smooth (but still a fast cutter). I guess it boils down to personal preference. As people (who are much more knowledgable than myself) have stated, the Naniwa is probably better suited as being part of the entire Super Stone progression, instead of using it on its own.

I have not tried a Chosera, but those seem to be the best ones In a lot of people's opinions.

Chosera works best for me.

Ask and thou shalt recieve

I have several, but I use and like the Chosera.
