Most definately! Probably better then a swaty, 10 to 20 light strokes should bring back a really nice edge.

I have seen many of these Barber's Hone grit rating and find they can be somewhat missleading since the check hones are naturals, reason being you give a BH a grit rating from a stone that was given...

With a Naniwa 12k, you dont really need a Swaty, i highly doubt that you will find one that beats this one. If you like the edge of the Naniwa you might be disapointed touching it up on a Swaty.
