But doing so would have completely "futilized" the previous half hour of concentrated honing. So I stayed on the 1K telling myself that those bevel sides could be meeting each other any stroke now. An hour later I knew what a fool I was. But still I was not prepared to go to a lower grit, where I could have done in 10 minutes what I couldn't achieve in 90.
Best regards,
