anyone have any experience with these? if so, how do they compare to Jnats?

Just placed an order with him, he does different sizes upon request.


I have limited experience with naturals (have a BB and Coticule) and am interested in getting more into polishing and these are very reasonably priced compared to Jnats.

The price is not gonna lie. Maybe its ok if its just for sharpening but i dont think its worth the hassle with shipping etc.

I toss mine out

I used mine to polish. It scratch the hell out of my knife.

For sharpening wise it isn't better than Japanese synthetic.

But nothing wrong with trying. Just my 2c

That's pretty much what AAH said, good enough for sharpening maybe a bit toothy. didn't have time to play with a wide selection of steel to test with.
