Thread: King Stones

No I didn't use a slurry on the 8k. I used more pressure on the 8k and trailed it off to finish on it with much better results. Maybe saying it dulled wasn't the right word. 1 and 4K had that nice feeling on the thumb pad and could pass a hanging hair test. At the 8k it lost its bite understandably but it also lost hht abilities and it didn't feel like it should have on the thumb pad test. Felt too smooth and not grabby enough.


Bought the 4 and 8k from LEE VALLEY and the stones came in a lee valley box with the number designation on them which is bothersome because on eBay the f3 (4K) stone is a green stone while the s3 ( infamous 6k) was orangey yellow and the gold stone is yellow. So it's fully possible I have a 6k and a 8k instead of a 4K.
