There's 5 or so here: https://www.chefknivestogo.com/lowgrst10.html
But I'm betting there's a lot more out there.

The Cerax 320 woulld be my pick :) , i have it and absolutely love using it to the extent i will only use it on prefered knives save as much of it as possible lol..
Mind you not that i dont like my Naniwa 400's. The Cerax gives such good feedback almost puts you in a trance using it :)...As a good record will..
Good Crew with good feeback onboard here Chefmarky dont you reckon??....

Considering that the chosera 400 is more like a 600, the transition from a true 220 grit to the chosera 400 can be tough on some steels (think hard stainless monosteel knives), especially when thinning and getting rid of scratches. This where a 320 in between may be usefull.

I completly agree with Kit about using a Chosera/Naniwa Pro 400 like a 1k. I also do that with a shapton glass 500.
