    I'm up in the air right now. I have a coticule and a Thuringian I'm still trying to figure out. I have succeeded at lapping film, but Jnat edges from the pros I've tried are sooo nice. Maybe I should sell my rocks, get Jnat edges on everything and call it a day. We'll see.

    If you buy a JNAT, you might end up with a PHIG that immigrated to Japan a few years ago.

    That's why you have to buy from a reputable seller. I bought all my stones from Maksim at JNS. Very fast shipping and he is very knowledgeable and in a live chat can help you select a great stone. I would go along with his recommendations regarding a matched tomo as well as asano naguras.

    Film is easy but it has a "surgical" feel to it. No comparison to a great Jnat edge.
