Grit comparison

Thu Aug 20, 2015 8:33 am

I read somewhere that the Japanese waterstone grit measures are different from that of Western made diamond stones and other abrasives. Could someone guide me on this and isa there an authentic grit comparison chart between Japanese and other sharpening stones? Thanks.

Bladesforum.com maintains a comparison spreadsheet here.

You can also do a search for "JIS grit comparison"
