Thread: Abrasive Grit Comparison Sheet

Great chart, thanks very much

I would love to know where the swatty and Lithide barber hones fit on that chart though. Any ideas?

I have a sun tiger 8000 and have been finishing on a Lithide. From what I have read today, the lithide may be coarser than the 8000, especially if the japanese stones are a finer grit when compared to a Norton and other stones.

I've just bought myself a chinese 12K so will be testing that in a few days time when invisible edge sends it to me I gues that raises another question. How does the Chinese stone compare to the Japanese or Nortons?
