This may not be what you want to hear, but this is where your Atoma 140 flattening stone comes in. Soak the King stone for about 20 minutes, put the flat side in your holder as tight as you can (unless you are using the one that came with the King), mark the slanted side with your pencil lines...

Hey forum! A few months ago, Nutmeg offered me an extremely fair, quality deal on two natural stones. Both stones were flattened on the sharpening surface, but the Uchigumori I bought is not flat on the bottom which has presented a problem. I have a universal stone holder with rubber ends...

I agree with Pensacola Tiger. The Atoma 400 is a good course stone that when used with proper pressure will create a burr pretty quickly without scratching up your knives too much. If you aren't a diamond plate fan, the Cerax 320 is also good, but that stone can dish quickly

Thank you for checking.

Hello. My wife may not be happy that I have found another place to add on to my collection of cutlery and stones, but she is not complaining about the food I am able to make because of these tools. Thank you all the great tips, advice, and items that I can hopefully purchase soon.

I never saw a buyer posted for the Chu. Is it still available? If not, would the Mikawa natural (#2) be good for a very hard (Lvl 5) Chinese natural? If so, I am interested.
