    Lithide's cutting rate is MUCH slower than Norton's. You probably COULD do it, but I'm not sure how quickly it would work on old blades. If I were you, I'd either get the 8k or a Japanese alternative. With that being said I will experiment with a Lithide for post-N8k finishing/touchup work soon. Oh and if you already have the N4k, you don't need any coarser hones.

    It would be VERY slow - due to the lithide being finer and such a small hone

    Unless you want to refurbish e-bay specials, in which case you would want a 1K for rough work (i.e., removing nicks, etc)
