Ah, so you did finish the surface with another fine stone!
I thought you used it right away after lapping it with the DMT 325

Very nice picture and setup!

Your stone looks good. I can clearly see scratches from the diamond hone on the surface,
but since you got the results you wanted, maybe that means the surface of...

Hello sigit;

oh that´s a tough quest.
I would recommend a couple (!) of sheets of wet dry sandpaper.
You will wear these out quickly.

Did you have a look at the shop of Maksim?

He has some great japanese naturals.

30k for lapping stones? Wow! I don´t think this would have any effect at all.
I have the Shapton 'fine'...

the ebay seller open_razor definitely sells bigger C12k. Just recently I bought a 200x75mm C12k, the biggest stone in my repertoir.
I paid 28€ shipped to Germany. Insane!

What do...

Indeed it does come flat, but the performance of the C12k is greatly improved by polishing the surface.
This is hard work! You buy a stone for 25€ and have to work on it for like 60€ (in life-time)....

I would recommend a Shapton 8.000 to you!
Shaptons cannot be gauged, and are great for bigger knives.
You could even jump from Naniwa 3k to Shapton 12k!
Much quicker and more consistant than the...
