Has anybody tried this much? Experiences? Anything I should watch out for? Gonna try it on my next honing
I don't see the point of this. When you hone on a coti you do it because you want a coti edge. If you'll finish on a JNAT you'll get a JNAT edge. I'd rather do a Nagura progression after the 1K if it's the JNAT edge you want.
I was already expressing my surprise about this method on the Ali's blades thread. I'm curious too. If you do it don't forget to post your experiences.
Edit: I might add that I never had much succes with a coti. I just did not get the level of sharpness I wanted. That's one reason I switched to JNATs, where I get jaw dropping results almost all of the time. I therefore can understand the need to refine a coti edge on a JNAT, especially if you like honing on a coti. It's just the concept of mixing two different natural stones from different continents that feels somehow "wrong" to me.

I used to go Naniwa 1K, Coticule, JNat. Thinking about it logically once you go Jnat, especially if you do so with any type of slurry you're effectively eliminating the "Coticule" edge so what's the point. Coticule edges means finishing on a coticule and going straight to clean linen and leather. If you go to anything after the coticule, CrOx, FeO, Diamond Spray, CDN, A1 Steak Sauce whatever, it stops being a coticule edge, it's that simple.
