S'ok, I 'm not confused I used to use King's & sometimes still do. I would still recommend something like a King 8k before the Karasu. It just really saves a lot of time. If you do that you'll get to that greasy sticky point on a J-Nat polisher with just water in a very few strokes & the blade will be ready. Much beyond that & you can over hone but of course your stone may be as slow as you say. It's all about learning your individual stone. You've tried the 250 pass madness . Now maybe try see what 5 or 10 does to a nearly shave ready blade.
And I wouldn't worry about re-laquering a few exposed chips.
