Just got this C12K delivered from Poland today, after a 90 minute session with the DMT8C to get it flat, and some polishing with 400-1200 wet/dry-paper and BBW I did the Gotta on it.
Started with slurry , diluted every 5-6 strokes, combo of regular strokes and X-strokes, finished with on clear water.
I might have lucked out a got a really nice stone, the shave off it was really nice and smooth, and sharp enough for effortless ATG. Pretty impressed with it!
