How's the tactile feelings between sp220 & sg 500?
aggressive stone? hard stone? cutting speed ?
Thanks so much bro, very useful feedback for me, appreciate it.Doh! I meant I have the 120 Pro. Tactile feel is pretty similar. The 120 is way coarser and you can feel it though. Obviously cuts way faster. All of them are hard stones. But if I had to order them by dishing speed/muddiness, I'd probably say the 500 is the muddiest, followed by the 120 Pro, and tie between 2k Pro and 4k Glass. But none are really muddy. The 120 needs some surface refreshing occasionally.
I like the 500 Glass and 2k Pro the most, in use. Just barely.
Crap, I totally forgot! I could have sent you the small piece as a nagura.You (europeans), are a gang of hunks! Nobody wants to sell to me a piece of Shapton pro....
(joking ofc)
It’s actually 1k and 1k. Strangely they don’t add, so it’s not a 2k. I really like both the pro and the glass, so I’m glad they’re united. I hope this little glue thing will also have the good side effect of increasing the life of both stones. It’s about 3-4 mm left of the sg1k, and I’ve heard the glass can crack when the abrasive layer gets too thin. Thinness is the least of my concerns now .is that a 1k and 3k combo??
or 1 and 2??
1 and 4?
looks factory as fuk to me at least the new glasspro line..
i love my 1 and 2k pro combo. its all you need really. whats really to complain about.
True, if amnesia strikes I’m doooooooomed. But then not knowing the exact grit of my sharpening stones might be a small problem.But... How can you be sure it was the SG1000 now? You can't read the back anymore...

I've actually been debating with myself of gluing either a Shapton Pro 120 or Naniwa SS 220 to the back of my Glass 500. Or gluing the SP 120 and SS 220 to an old chinese diamond-less plate..Sorry to bump an old thread, but I’ve come to realize that @inferno is right. The answer is ’both’. Due to an incident the other day I now have a 1k combo stone. It’s a Shapton glass pro, or a Shapton Pro glass. Not sure.
Yes but not sure which stones should be stuck together.then i guess you have your progression.
Hmm... Need to find a big prism or something...keyword: "trihone"
