Thread: Question about burnishing Arkansas black

Euclid I am thinking that as well. Lapped up to 800 grit and while reflective it is nowhere near mirror. It extremely smooth though. Took my favorite carbon Japanese knife and went to town with x and half strokes. 2 birds with one stone as it were. The stone is getting smoother and shinier and my knife was getting better by the second. Just finished slicing tomatoes for burgers and while not shaving sharp it is still wicked sharp with a highly polished bevel. Win win. I figure the stone is good to go for now and will improve with use. Have a drawer full of carbon and stainless knives I need to work through and the stone and knives will get just that much better.
