That is the only thing I use the blue for, as I skip from black to red when doing heavy reshaping. I have a natural Nagura, but don’t often use it, as the King seems to work well by itself. I never had any issues with embedded foreign material in my polishing stone. I always rinse with water after flattening, so have not experimented with using the diamond plate as a Nagura, but I will try it the next time I sharpen.
