Thread: Which is your favorite 1k ????

I've stuck with the Shapton GS for a while now. This
deal on Choseras looks pretty great, though!

Mark is great to deal with.
He lso carries some nat stones and I think he allows people to try them before purchase.

I had been thinking about this Arashiyama 1K stone. When it was relisted on eBay, I bought it. So, I will have that to compare to the Ice Bear and the Chocera.

I haven't found a lot on this one, but the Arashiyama 6K gets lots of good reviews. and is a mix of synthetic grit and natural stone.

The eBay description "This whetstone makes the powder and the corpuscle of a natural whetstone mixing it."

there you have it.

The Arashiyama 1000 arrived yesterday. It lapped quickly and has a grabbier feel more like the Chocera 2K than the King (I don't know why I said Ice Bear - that was just wrong).

It made pretty quick work of a blade with a frown that had been giving me a problem.

I think it deserves evaluation by people that are working to improve their early progression.

It isn't easy to find, but mine cost $55 shipped to the US. Here is the eBay listing.
