So I have a Naniwa Traditional 8000 (supposedly the new Snow White...that is another story). It has been severly cracked since it was forgotten in a perma soak tub for 2 days. I left it in storage for a few years but now I'm wondering if it is worth to lap through the cracks. When I look from...

Was wondering if anyone use this dressing stone, like a synthetic nagura without rinsing the mud after. What I noticed with the Naniwa Pro and chosera is that the mud raised with it is the same color as the sharpening stone and doesn’t feel to rough. So do you keep the mud or rinse it. With...

I have a question that may seem weird but do you flatten you very coarse stones with a diamond plate or with something esle ? I have an Imanishi 220 pink brick and a King Deluxe 300 that I usually flatten with 60 grit SiC and a Naniwa dressing stone because I’m unsure if the diamond plate will...

Someone here ever used the Bester 4000 stone ? There is not a lot of information about this stone. I remember Bryan Raquin seems to really like it for wide bevels before finishers. How is the hardness, speed, finish left. From what I have read it is splash and go.

Some vendors from Japan don't sell them anymore saying they are discontinued. The Shapton website is down, their YouTube channel is removed and some vendors in North America are having back order issues. Someone here knows if they are discontinued for good ? Discuss.

I'm currently going away from my soaking stone set-up (all permasoaked ; pink brick 220 + king 1200x + rika 5k), I already have a king 300, Shapton glass 500, Naniwa Pro 1k and Naniwa traiditional 8k ("new" snow white). I also have a Super Stone 5000 but almost never use it, it finishes finer...
