I started with 3 new Shapton Pro wetstones: 220 - 1000 & 8000G and used them to sharpen a 3/4" Titan chisel I inherited.
In the process of flattening the back of the chisel, I thought that the jump from 1000 to 8000G was too much and felt no "purchase"
on the 8000 stone. The back of the chisel was "slipping" rather than grinding. So purchased a 2000 and a 5000G to fill the gap and I believe it was the correct step to take. (Maybe either of the two may have been sufficient?)
I also read about Nagura stones and I am asking if my sharpening would improve even more by using Naguras to create a slurry on the finer stones, from 2000G upward. If so, do I need a different Nagura for each wetstone?
Advice & opinions will be gratefully received
