I don’t hear much about jasper being used for honing. I can tell you from my experience with my ocean jasper that it is an awesome finisher. I actually can set a bevel with my 1K and then proceed to the Jasper. I do 2 slurries and dilute them to water. I will then do X strokes on the burnished side of the stone. The edges I get are so comfortable and smooth. I was even told that the Jasper from Wild Whetstones resemble Jnats.
