Thread: What’s your favourite stone combo?

Hello to All

Synthetic

Naniwa SuperStones (SS) 1k, 3k, 8k, 12k

Natural

La Verte or La Veinette coticules, followed by finish on Naniwa SS 12k. (For me, the 12k SS really 'improves' the edge from the coticules).

(I have started to use a Charnley Forest to finish from the coticules, but have not used it enough to form an valid opinion)

Have fun !

Best regards

Russ

I know were to buy the Sharpton 30 in Europe, but the Suehiro or the Zulu Grey I have no idea could you guys tell me ?

You can get the Suehiro here:

That's where I got mine - great service !

With regard to my honing set up - I don't have a clear favourite one...

OK, my Chosera 1K always comes first (unless there's very heavy work to be done, then I use a 400 Chosera as well).

Then I either stay synthetic with Chosera 5K and Super Stone 12K (maybe Suehiro 20K as well) or I use one of my coticules followed by a thuringian.

My JNats (Nakayama Maruka, Nakayama Iromono, Oozuku) haven't been used for quite a while... And I can't even say why...

For me it's:

Naniwa 1k
Naniwa 5k
Naniwa 8k
Naniwa 12k
Gokumyo 20k

As the Gokumyo arrived fairly recently, I haven't really decided whether I still need any CrOx afterwards...

1 or 3k synthetic stone to bevel set. The 1k is made by Norton, unsure of the manufacturer of the 3k.
12K PHIG/Chinese natural/CNAT/etc... with super-heavy Coticule slurry, diluted gradually until it's all gone and then just water to finish.
