Step 5Using the Nagura Stone
The finer grits of waterstones (6000 and above) need a little help to produce the slurry needed to actually sharpen the chisels. Enter the nagura stone. You're now ready for the 8000-grit sharpening.
Take your wet nagura stone (which should have been submerged along with the other stones) and rub the top of your 8000-grit stone in a circular motion. You'll see the slurry starting to form on the top of the stone.
After each set of passes, rinse the stone like you did with the others, and reapply the nagura stone.
You're almost done. It's time to add a microbevel.
