Hey Gents,
I finally got my honing setup where I want it and the results are indeed improving. However, Ive been curious what tests to use and when. As of this minute, for example, Ill do a marker test and TNT when setting a bevel, and the arm shave test at the 4k and 8k levels with a shave test after the Nakayama.
BTW: I use Shaptons in the 1k,4k,8k and 16K with a Nakayama Kiita from Telly as a finisher. Quite happy with my stones, but not happy with my skill.
