One thing I noticed on my 16k was that I got the dark swarf fairly quickly. On my Shapton pro 12k and 15k I don't get it that quickly. Also the pro in those grits are a cream color and a slurry begins to appear on both before too long. When I went to the 16 I was using weight of the blade with maybe + a wee bit. If I was honing as Harrelson does on the video he and Howard made I would have to refresh the stone often whether it was the glass or the pro.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

I agree, swarf on the bright white stones is produced very quickly. But I don't find that the swarf becomes an issue where I feel the stone is loaded unless I'm honing for quite awhile.

I hone at the kitchen sink so every now and then with whatever I am using I give it a rinse and spin it around to spread the wear. I haven't honed enough with the 16 to really "know" the stone but it definitely impressed me.
