Jim, why shave off a King 4000? Can you shave from a Norton 8000?
Well, according to this thread you should be able to.

I still think that the Nortons use the same numbering system as the Japanese hones, whatever that may be. It just doesn't make sense that there would be such a huge difference between the Nortons and, for example, the Naniwas when lots of people here use both.
