Do new stones / nawina require lapping or do they come with a factory edge that is suitable for honing?

They will need a bit of lapping, but as said W/D sandpaper on a flat surface is more than adequate.

Outback,

Is that offer of hands on training extended to other forum members? If so, what is your favorite beer, alcohol, and/or lunch option?

Ohh my, alcohol and really sharp objects! Count me in!

Also thanks to everyone. I have this inbound form Japan:
- NANIWA: Goken-PRO Kagayaki Whetstone # 12000 sharpening [NK-2091]

Seems that it is the 12k SD only less expensive.

Good choice with the 12k. Here’s a good video on touch ups done short and sweet from drmatt357

Regarding that video, that is little more than shilling for the ILR hone.
