JKI diamond stone nagura

[iimi]

I've got a jki diamond 1k stone that's gotten pretty loaded up and doesn't cut as well as it used to. I don't have the nagura that Jon sells with the stone, though-- anything else I can use to refresh the stone?

Another sharpening stone or loose silicon carbide on a tile or glass plate work great.

Yeah any coarse nagura or stone will work. The nagura itself is 320 grit I think. You can rub like a cerax 320 on it or something, or buy a coarse nagura, or cheap coarse water stone
