MarcH:
Thanks for the info. I have been searching for whetstones, but wasn’t sure what to get? I saw those Shapton Kuromaku Pro Stones on ebay, but wasn’t sure if they were the real stones or fake? I emailed the vendor, but haven’t gotten a reply. I thought about trying the Kuromaku Pro stones as they are cheaper than the Suehiro or Nubatama stones I priced. I was also told by another vendor that they could still get the Shapton glass stones, but it would take awhile.
Based off your experience with the Kuromaku Pro stones would you recommend them or are they a softer stone that doesn’t last very long? I am looking for a longer life or harder stone.
