I did a short honing experiment today. Questions;
Is my Mejiro coarser then my koma?
Dmt slurry on JNAT, how does it compare to the results from Asano naguras?
I jointed the edge and started with Méjiro.
I then moved on to Koma, and compared the results.
I found no difference using my stones.
The hard Mejiro felt a little better on this hard stone. They are just as fine.
I then jointed the edge carefully, and brought it back using a worn dmt 600 to generate slurry.
The diamond plate slurry gave deeper striations then the aforementioned nagura steps.
Finally the edge was finished with tomo slurry on a softer jnat.
This support my previous shave tests using these different approaches.
The nagura progression gives a smoother edge then the dmt slurried edge. However, the dmt slurried edge has a unique cutting feel to it. So, one is not better then the other, just different.
I would say that in terms of the best refinement, I would say the nagura progression sets the edge up better for the tomo finishing then the dmt slurried one.
