I've used a ruby stone (synth ruby) to raise slurry on the c12k, but that just abrades the c12k.

'Sounds like several have posted about the hone as a platform for other abrasion media. Spyderco with diamond spray, c12k w/ slurry from other rocks, etc. So not every experiment will yield nuggets, but it's very cool to press for the discoveries.

Onimaru, is there a grit range for the synthetic nagura you would recommend?
This is very doable and a pretty inexpensive solution. It may not be the most consistent method, but it is not too bad. It would be cool if you guys who give it a try, report your findings in another thread. There are lots of alternatives out there guys.

Have fun,
