    i like my suehiros, but i can't weight them against the other two and havent owned them long enough to judge how they wear. Also at hand sharpening I'm new to the craft and thus my opinion doesn't mean much, but I hate to see a thread hang to long without some help lol. rest assured help is on the way

    Lovely - Thank you so very much. And I respect you for choosing Suehiro - it seems to me Naniwa pumps a lot of money in marketing - 'I am not saying their stones are not good...

    I have a 12k ss that I use to finish my straights its okay, super convenient to use, but the feedback om the Sue's are far more telling for me

    I owned a super low grit gokumyo for a while. It had pretty good feedback for a stone so hard.

    I've never used the others. I used a Takashima from JKI to finish yanagiba for a long time. I'm experimenting with a ohira suita now, but can wholeheartedly say that the Takashima is plenty refined enough. It'll cost a little more than the chosera or suehiro, but will be a little softer and muddier, and much easier to get an even finish with.
