Hello everyone, like the rest of you I have a lot of free time lately due to the shelter in place so I figure now its the best time to buy a JNS however since I'm new I would love if you more knowledgeable folks can help me out. A little bit of info, I have the Shapton pro series, 320x, 1000x, and 5000x and the type of steel I own is, aogami super blue, W2, Blue #2, R2, and 1095/15n20 damascus.
I would like a finishing stone that will give a nice edge and a Kasumi finish that is easy for beginners.
One stone I'm currently looking at is this one #517 Shoubudani Asagi Nashiji Lv4,Lv4
Regrading this stone, would it be worthwhile to get a nagura, I do have a nano hone lapping plate. Also, does anyone know if the sides are already sealed with lacquer.
Any advice would be most appreciated, thanks for reading!
