Thread: naniwa 5k vs norton 4k...is this the only benefit?

is the only benefit of naniwa stones over norton stones that they are better priced and dont need to be soaked?

when i say only i dont mean it in an understating way, i just wanna make sure im not missing anything.

also if i was to get a naniwa (they are so well priced why the hell not) would i get a 3k or a 5k to compare with a norton 4k?

ive read so many posts about norton 4k stones being so pourous and such a bitch to maintain. but a post/review is only as good as the person who wrote it. (hhhahahaha i read that one where that idiot got banned hahahahaahahha). bc if thats the case id rather use a stone that i just need to lap everyone and again, spray some water on and go.
