Do I need a Bout for my JStr8?
I have taken the edge as far as I can take it with my C12k and my Swaty and my Crom Ox. I Think the edge could do with a little more smoothness/sharpness.
Is this something than a bout can do?

Short answer: smoothness yes, sharpness no.
(Seeing the recent controversy over this matter, other more experienced members will undoubtedly chime in.)

What hones are you using before you get to the Chinese 12k, Swaty and chrom ox ?
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

So color me confused.
I was told by some here to use a 12k only to get the edge on the Jstr8. Which is what I did. Took me forever. Anyway, I notice that is it sharp. I guess If I went to 24k or 16k that may give me what I want.
Just wondering because honing one of these is vastly different than a standard str8. So consider me a noob here.
