I have tinkered with a 10k, 12k, 13k, and 15k hones
to follow a Norton 4k/8k combo edge and they
all work very well. The differences in the shave
had more to do with my skill at honing than the grit
of these four hones....

The Sigma 13k a very good one. If Sigma has stock
rocks in the 10k-15k range you are good to go.

The Sigma only needs a tiny bit of lapping to flatten
the surface and eliminate the very thin casting release
rind... Sigma makes a good hone. Hmm.... I am repeating
myself.
