Thread: Translucent Ark?

1. No. If it already has a good finish it will only get better with use. No need to burnish any further u less it is not giving you the edge you want.

2. Any oil or lubricant works but my preference is for water soluble. So either smiths or ballistol oil.

3. The laps depend on your stone and particular blade/grind. I personally don't count laps. 300 should be plenty if the surface is burnished and it is light pressure.
