I bought a Dragon's Tongue from Neil Miller several years ago. He estimated the grit rating at around 9k and I agree with that estimate. I also bought a PURPLE LLYN MELYNLLYN from him some time later and it finishes quite nicely with a gradually diluted slurry to plain water. A fair estimate on that stone would be 10k to 12k. Both stones yield a smooth shave with minimum fuss.
