Thread: Two New Stones... and some luck

Personally, I don't think slurry on a finisher is a good idea. Slurry, however little, will round the edge a bit, and I don't want that on a finisher. All I want to do is refine the edge. Slurry may also help increase cutting speed, but to me it's not worth it.

I have seen others say that they found the C12k dulled their edge unless they did more than X laps. That wasn't the case for me, but I suppose it is possible...

I realized the first time I created slurry that this is not working, so then I proceeded with no slurry. My last attempt was to use my 10k SS as nagura, but instead of 12k Chinese slurry I ended up with 10k SS slurry. Judging by the posts other have made, it is possible this stone is a random hit and miss in terms of performance.
