It took me some years to get 300 honed blades and I feel I only master (not perfectly) my 8ks and naniwa 12k. I'm still trying to understand my escher, coti and jnats. Recently I got a wonderful edge (nani 12k) on my TI and had the idea to give a try with my nakajama, the result was WOW. Then I was thinking that I was finally mastering that nakayama and decided to try with a nasty Le Grelot directly after nani 8k. Sadly I dulled the Le Grelot
I am in the same boat. I have a TI that time and again is dulled by my Nakayama. It is one of those idiosyncrasies of honing.
