It is true that I felt a bit patronized by your reply. But I have a great appreciation for your knowledge about all things steel and sharp and your willingness to share with others. I think we have that in common, at least the willingness to share part.

My statement that rating the Coticule with slurry as 6000 grit is nonsense, was not directed to you. After all, you only mentioned others rating it that way. A coticule with slurry cuts at least 10X faster than one wiith water, and both you and I are not going to start rating it 600 grit, are we?

Thanks for thinking this thing through with me,
We have been quibbling before. I don't take that personal, and I hope neither do you.

Kind regards,
Bart.
