Hello folks,
I'm looking to buy myself some new Waterstones (my King stones are now very worn down after many years of use).
I've narrowed it down to the Ohishi (Lie Nielsen sell them) or Shapton Professional stones. They both look quite good, and both look as if they will perform well as 'splash and go' stones.
I wonder whether anybody here has had experience with both of these stones, and what your opinions of them are? Which would you pick, and why?
I had also considered the Naniwa Pro stones, but feel rather put off by the amount of stories about them cracking.
Any advice would be much appreciated (note: I did search for any old threads on this, but there wasn't much written about the Ohishi's...)
Thank you
