Thanked: 35Shapton 16k, mixed grit??
Hi guys. Was looking up some info on the shapton glass stones on the Dictum site
from Europe(Germany I think). I saw that the 16k was only like 10 bucks more expensive
than the 16k. I liked this. Then I saw the 10k was like 40 bucks more expensive than the 16k, which I thought was weird.
I checked the info on the 16k:
* Mixed grit: 6000 – 20.000.
In blade sharpening tests there was no noticeable difference in sharpness between a jump 2000 to 16.000 (mixed grit) and a standard sharpening procedure.

I never read about such a thing on any forum. When I buy a 16k stone, I want a 16k stone.
What do you guys think?
