Interesting how you mentioned 'heavy-handed'. As I describe my usual progression to others, they are surprised how many reps I perform. Seldom do I push hard on the 1k unless there is a problem spot. I usually just let it do it's job. I have been gifted an Okudu Tomo Nagura which slurries it'self onto the Norton easily and makes for a fast cutter without excessive scratching of the bevel. I found that raising the slurry from the Norton makes for a rough hone. I still go to the Naniwa 1k after. Very light from there onward, weight of the blade only. YMMV
