    Good grinding & finishing my friend, I just haven't ever heard of someone using 440C on razors until now. You need to "chase the edge" to see just how fine of a stone it will handle before breaking down. I know a properly HT'd O-1 or 1095 will handle 30K. If the 440 can handle it, then you are obviously doing something right! No matter, again I say: Nice grinding my friend.

    You know I haven't even thought about that you make an excellently valid point. Obviously as I said I'm not a pro, and I haven't done a whole study on testing 440 but right off the bat I would thinking would be excellent. Its composition gives better wear characteristics, edge holding capability and naturally resistance to surface damage. So one would think that if you are able to get it to a super edge it would hold it better, for longer. But I'm sure we all know what is originally thought isn't always the final outcome. I'll definitely be keeping tabs compared to my carbon blades.
