I'd like to get some sprays to refine the edge of my kamisori. I'm considering .25um and .1um diamond, but I'm happy to hear other suggestions. What should I get, where should I get it, and what should I put it on? Thanks.
Which sprays should I use on a kamisori?

I use .1 and .05 CBN and poly respectively, after a tomonagura slurry. After a coticule finish I used .25 before the .1 and .05.
Ymmv or course but I never had the need to go bigger than .25.
Edit: it's on hanging leather, btw.

Awesome. Where do you get your sprays? There seem to be many options.
I have experimented with sprays on Kamisori and found that while they do add a marked level of sharpness that also add a noticeable level of harshness. I prefer Kamisori edges off the stones. .125 diamond spray on felt is wicked on Kamisori, best HHT 5 results I've ever achieved, but the edge is dangerous.
Either chefknivestogo, or directly from ken123. Ken used to sell half bottles which is more economical IMO.
Try spraying some .05 on a Jnat and go to town. Pretty sharp and smooth but you need your "A" game.

Many thanks, both.
sprays can be had from the following places

that being said, Jnats are the best thing to use on kamisori IMHO and IME.
