The king hones are easily replaceable if they might cause me issues, I had them already so thought I would give them a go. I did notice the metal shavings in the shapton slurry that I had not gotten with either of the kings but they did appear to be cutting okay.
What hones should I be looking at to match the shapton, would the shapton 5K, 8K be alright? or is there something better I should look at.
