Hi!
I would to ask for some advice from the sharpening guys and girls here
Is there something much better smoother faster cooler than the JNS red aoto and even better a good jnat alternative that does not cost 200++ bucks directly?
i am using synthetics with pleasure until i go on my brick size suitas.
My setup is as mentioned before on other posts a JNS 1k, JNS red aoto, JNS 6k and then Suitas and if needed finer jnats.
i had been absent from sharpening for quiet a while and was so lazy that i directly jumped from the 1k to the ohira (wich is no problem, but 2 steps between gives a better edge)
the JNS red aoto is awesome.. its the mudmaster3000 and makes a nice hazy finish, but it feels scratchy and not so smooth like the creamy 6k.
it actually feels like there are some sand particles in the smooth surface. well the stone is awesome and the mud is very cool for knifepolishing too.
soo as i know from watanabe most coarse and medium jnats are not as effective or consistent and its really hard to find a very good one that surpaces any synthetic stone.
is there something cooler in the 2-3k range (something with a mixed jnat like grit) ?
or a fire and forget jnat ? i am not sure if a real aoto would make sense (tanba and from watanabe) and i dondt know about ikarashi and whatever stuff in the medium range
the jns 6 will 100% stay in my setup because its awesome
just need some ideas! so please dondt waste to much time on my request )
seeya daniel!
