As far as bevel setting goes I've always preferred the finest stone that that can do the job quickly & with the least steel removed. The Kuro 2k can do the job, ezy pezy.

The Chocera stones, however, are a perfect fit for razors, the 1k easily doing the job of both the 1&2k Kuromaku.

Below is a 2k Kuromaku edge on an Iwasaki Kamisori that was chipped & rusty. Stone is fast enough to cause the burr you see. 200x.
Onimaru55, thank you for sharing your experience with me.

So, I've got 2 questions based on your explanation.

1) Then, the Kuromaku 2K is great for healing and refine the scratches from the Kuromaku 1k, right?

2) In case I don't get the 2K, but set a bevel on the Kuromaku 1K, can I "heal" and refine the scratch pattern left by the 1K using a Blue Belgian with a heavy slurry or a Coticule with slurry? Because I've got 2 BBWs and a Coticule with a slurry stone. So, I can create slurry in the BBW with another BBW or the Coticule, or whatever combination that comes to mind. Is it possible to replace the scratch pattern left by the 1K with any of those natural Belgians?

Thanks a lot for any further piece of advice,
Kind regards,
Mike
