Thread: SG 16k or ZG

As far as I am concerned, the ZG makes the edge left by the SG16k less 'sharp' and more 'smooth', though there is very little in it. It feels to me that by the third lot of shaving/stropping any edginess left by the 16k is ameliorated anyway, so beyond experimentation I never kept the exercise up.

FWIW if I want to get a smoother finish (usually I finish on the SG20k, so the next step is redundant, anyway) some 10-20 laps or so on CBN does the job very effectively.

BUT - if you dont have the wonga for all these super-hones, then a good old naniwa 12k is a good bet - it does all the above (mostly) on its own...

Regards,
Neil
