Hope that helps....

Most of the time this is true, but it's not carved in stone. The darker stones can be faster than the lighter stones in some circumstances. I have a blue Thuri that is much faster and finer than a Yellow/green I have. Both leave a fantastic edge, but my darker one is a much better stone.
