Just like the thread title states. I'm wondering if there are users out there of the Norton Waterstones. I was always curious of trying them out.
I've used Naniwa Pro and the Gouken series. The Fuji and Hayabusa specifically and a 10K SS , Shapton 4-8-16k glass, King, Suehiro Cerax, Ouka and Rika.
I'm just wondering how the Norton compare to long time users and if the Norton series 1-4-8 is worth picking up. I've sold all the stones I've mentioned except the Suehiro but would let them go and get the Norton if they're worth it/ just for the nostalgic value. I love the Norton brand for some reason not based on superiority or even quality in some instances. Just the dang brand.
