I prefer the Naniwa Professional stones - they hardle collect any swarf and don't require anything like the cleaning of Shapton stones.

I've been giving the 3K Professional a hard look. I've got a 3K (purportedly) natural, but it is painfully slow. I could jump to a coticule directly from the 1K Chosera, but i've come to like a 3K to remove the scratch marks from the Chosera 1K, and then go on from there ..
I can still get a 3K Chosera, but I'm wondering if the 3K Professional may be a better choice.
UKRob said:It depends on whether the 5k is removing scratch marks OK - you can tell because at the 8k stage and certainly the 12k, you should have a mirror like bevel. If there are still visible scratch marks you either have to spend a bit more time on the 5k or introduce the 3k.
My progression is slightly different in that I have 1k, 3k, 5k, 10k Naniwas and then a 20k Goyumyu. At 10k stage the bevel is almost flawless in terms of scratches.
