I had the first thinning session for a JCK Fu Rin Ka Zan W1 petty.

Started with King1000 stone and after a while swithced to King6000.
These are pics after ~5min of work with King1000:
What is happening here? Why does it turn into blunt grey?
D> I believe that it is from the mud. I do not think that 5 min on the 1000grit King stone will not remove the cladding. and as the original striations are still there.. it means that teh cladding is still there. Normally, I try to remove till the original striations are evened out.
a) some stones leave dark shades adn some light. IF shades are uneven, I normally use sandpaper 600 grit to remove mud shades and make it even.TO add some greyness I wld either use cork with mud or sandpaper with mud
b) Playing with Mud. pressure and how dense the mud is plays a part.
b) On the polishing stone.. some leaves "cloudish" shine.
c) for my thinning jobs,, either I use sandpaper or bring the stone to the knife... preferably smaller ones from old worn out stones thats broken into smaller pieces.
You lost be below...
Firstly, is my understanding correct here:
1 = Hira, Nashiji finish
2 = Shinogi line
3 = Kireha, this part is stainless clad, or?
4 = "Hagane line"
5 = Hagane, White no1
