here's the story, Have been using my G 1K ex lg stone from Jon for a couple of months now. It's clearly a favorite, But { for me }
it seems to be TOO soft , love the mud, but it dishes way fast. Have had to stop & diamond plate it in the middle of a knife.
Was watching Maxim's demo of his huge & super Huge Binsui's, Saw that the swarf , while black seemed to be more water than mud.
which i figured , that it was much harder than the Gesshin.
Bottom line, do I buy the Binsui , to be my work horse. & use the Gesshin for light touch -up work.
