Hi all -
I'm planning my first JNat purchase and was initially looking for a medium-fine finisher. Something to use after a Gesshin 2000 or JNS 1000 as my last stone in a 2-stone routine set-up, also for touch ups. 3.5-6k grit range, I don't think I need to go much higher than that for now and I like a toothy edge.
Something softer, that creates mud easily - as I understand would be better for JNat beginners - and leaves a toothy edge. Under US$250. Would be used on a Toyama and a Shig mostly.
These are my initial options:
Aoto
Aizu - maybe too hard / not so user friendly for beginners?
Takashima - there's a lv 2.5 at JNS that would be my best choice I think...
Am I missing something? JNS has some inexpensive Aiiwatani Koppas, would these fit my purpose? Or too fine to jump after a 1000-2000 synth?
Thank's in advance!
