No. The koma and dmt were used on the Nakayama.

I've just honed for about three and a half hours.. I've had enough :cry:

For the record.

I just shaved with my DMT slurried razor and I must admit, it was outstanding.

I did the Chosera 1k / 5k / 10k / Koma / DMT.. 10/10

They are both 5+
I used to hit the Shobu then the Naka.
You cant go wrong with a decent Shobudani.

I am dying to get back on it but not until I've mastered my Nakayama.

That worn 1200 is for tidying up Naguras or for the edges of stones. I have a new 1200 bought just for lapping my Naka . If it ever breaks in enough I can use that for slurries. I also bought a cheap...

I never thought of roughing up/de glazing my hard Naguras to get an easy slurry off them. I'll have to re introduce them to my regime for some testing.

After using my worn out 1200 for a slurry I...

I realised my first DMT attempt today had fractured the blade edge. Maybe a foil edge.
So I dragged it on the corner of the stone.
Got out my worn Atoma 1200 . I figured it was useless because its...

I've been lead to believe that a mirrored finish is whats best for honing on a Jnat.

The fact that my hone is releasing a lot more slurry with a Nagura , after DMT usage , means that the surface...

Whats a DMT C?? thanks

Yes but not at the expense of scratching or roughing up my Nakayamas surface

I have 2 Atoma 1200 plates. Either way if they do anything other than visibly polish my Jnat I don't wanna use them

I have always assumed that it works like this:
The seller acquires his stones from Japan or where ever. He/She having knowledge of these stones, tests them and decides , this one is about a 4 and...

I just honed up a blade.
After the 10k I decided to try the Nakayama with the DMT , its a credit card 1200 mesh.

I use this card to make slurries with the Chosera 1k and 5k, it feels worn and...

I should wear my DMT down some and try again. But dosnt a Nagura break down into finer pieces of slurry than base stone?

You live and learn. I never thought a DMT plate could create a mirror finish.

I've been honing for 2 years but I might have been saying that for quite a while, I don't have a specific time line.
I hone lots of different types of blades ,mainly European apart from Hart Steel...

A few months ago I was advised to try a DMT slurry (It had been about a year since I last tried) so I purchased a fine DMT credit card.
Raised a slurry, leaving no visible scratches on the hone. The...

I lap my Jnats with the 1200 plate, I also lap my 1k with the 1200 to try and wear it down a bit .

It always shocks me how the Tomo can take out those scratch marks.

So the Tomo removes layers...

Thanks, I never thought of it as impressive .
If I have an interest then I cant stop myself from acquiring the best stuff.

I have only had negative effects from generating DMT slurry.
One guy...

I just did some honing. Picture below.

My stone seems to prefer the harder metals. This T.I carbonsong c135 steel is my favourite. I understand it well when associated with my Nakayama.
I get the...

I approached a few craftsman in London who was up for the job ,but I found one guy, a professional woodturner who makes the most beautiful items and he was more than happy to make the stone holder...

That's basically it, although I set the bevel on a 1k then go to the Naguras.
Figuring out the Naguras and the slurry thickness plus the blades metal qualities and their sizes all comes into play....

I hone on it every day.

The stamps went on the first lapping . Being dark doesn't help when trying to see the slurry changing colour.
It's by far my most treasures item

Using it as finishing...
