Hello all,

I am thinking about finally getting into honing. I was wondering what people thought about the difference in the naniwa superstones 5k and 8k or the norton 4k/8k.

Is there a difference in feedback?
One easier to lap than the other?

Things like that. If they're not too much different, I like the nani SS because they will match my nani 12k once I get into finishing, after learning to shave off 8k. Also is there a noticeable difference in nani 3k and 5k? Would a 3k be better for a newb?

Thanks
