    Default Naniwa 800 ss

    I have read several posts from guys here that use 800 grit stones.

    I have the urge to get a new stone and I am wonering if an 800 would set a bevel easier than a 1k, or would it be a pointless stone and a waste of money?

    Never used one but it seems a little close to 1k. Might be good for use where lots of work is needed on bevel set to correct chips or uneven bevel edge quicker.
    I'd be interested to know how it works out though or, at the very least, hear more feedback.

    I've used the 800 not mine BTW. Worked great. I have and use the 600 for when I need it. The 600 is definitely faster. For me that's exactly what I did and no regrets.

    No need for the 800k if you have the 1k. Can't remember if you have the 1k Chosera, if you do, the brown nagura can be used to make a slurry which helps speed up bevel setting.
    Any hone more aggressive than a 1k is really for restorations.

    I could see having a 600 for restoration reasons. I have a 400 I think that Ive used to hog some metal away to find good stuff faster. But then you have a lot of work on a 1k to get rid of the super deep scratches. But it has come in handy. Just not often.

    I use a Naniwa Pro 600 for material removal work. I'm usually working with thin grinds and the coarse grit speeds progress at low pressures.

    I tried one at a meet and ordered one as soon as I got home. Nice stone and not very expensive.

    If your doing more than honing, ie. restoration on a rough blade, if your in the “ I want a new stone, “ get you a green brick, the workhorse of bevel setters, great stone. I haven’t set a bevel in forever, but it’s the bees knees

    Word of advise, when the auctions come up, keep a lookout, never know what might show up!

    Would a person use a 600 as part of their normal bevel setting before moving to 1K or is that just complete overkill.

    I have go one razor that would benefit from a stern talking to, I rounded the heel with a dremel. The heel looks alright now but the edge near the fixed heel was touched by the dremel so now I have some serious bevel setting to do . The bevel is set for most of the edge but the heel end for 1/4 inch won't even cut my finger if I slide it along that part of the edge.

    Saying that, a new stone for just that one cheap blade is obviously a waste of money unless I could use it regularly, I think I read somewhere here that one of the guys uses 600 1k then Jasper but I might be mistaken.

    I will have to try to look back and see if I can find it.

    Many people own a diamond lapping plate. And they use that for the rough work. You will have extra cleanup time on the 1k. I wouldn't recommend it if you hone for a living but it will help you get by without spending any more. That is if you already own one. If the bevels are giving you a little trouble than a 600 is your ticket. But only you can say whether it's worth it or not as it's your money.
