I bought this 12000 grit stone as a finishing stone and you say its a 8K stone. Do you mean it a 8K stone that cuts and polish like a 12K stone? I am confused on the rating, and I am just confuse? I already have a high quality 8K Japanese water stone that did not give the edge that I was looking for and that why I bought the Kitayama 12k water stone. I also have a 4K and 6K Norton. I am a beginner, but I also bought the Lynn DVD, I follow it, and I got the job done buy using a TI 10K Paste to finish. I haven't use the Kitayama yet, but will need it soon. Am I wasting my time going from a 8K Japanese water stone to a Kitayama 12k (you say misprint 8K) Japanese water stone for the final finish?
