    Default Barber hone vs J-Nat

    No, not a contest.
    Some of my customers have asked if it's possible to maintain the edges I finish on a Nakayama Asagi with a barber hone.

    Having little to no experience with barber hones I PM'd hi_bud_gl & Utopian about their opinions. Ron also suggested posting this up for more input as it may be of interest to others.. A big thank you to both gentlemen.

    btw Sham said yes, with the "right" hone & Ron said yes, but results might not be quite as smooth.
    I think a final polish with a super fine paste after the barber hone may solve that.

    So whaddya reckon guys ? Anyone have a theory or experience with both types ?
