Holy cow the dark side is fine!! It has to be 12k+, I've never had a barber hone that felt like this one, 30 laps after a Norton 8k and it was tree topping like after a CrOx paddle
This is why I don't mind picking up the occasional B. Hone to play with. I've only got a handful, but the least fine of them is about 8K and I'm willing to wager I have two that are equivalent to 12K. They can be surprisingly nice.
