well, i really like the green brick for stainless in particular. but its a pretty messy stone, and clogs up easily, and when i first started using it I accidently took some chunks out of it while sharpening, like the edge would get caught in the stone....i dont think it was my technique because i own well over a dozen stones and this is the only one that i had this problem with. but the green brick will get the job done...fast too. im a little surprised i havent read a single gesshin 2k recommendation yet. anybody?
also, are the green and red aotos still available at JNS? i didnt see them earlier when i looked?
