    I use balsa as my final step after honing. You can use it to bring back an edge if it is just starting to tug but if you allow the edge to deteriorate too much you will need to go back to the stones.

    4k = 5 micron
    8k = 3 micron
    12k = 1.5 micron
    60k = .5 micron
    100k = .25 micron
    Grit ranges by manufacturers differ so this is only a guide.
