Thanks...
I was looking for the unobtanium hone and stumbled on these.
I was having trouble taming the White shapton Glass hones. Just too darn sharp at 30K
I tried the 12K and it quickly gave me a nice sharp shaver so I was feeling flush and
tried the 8K and was very pleased.
In part there was a discussion where someone had a 4K/8K combo and the 4K half was
about finished. I started thinking about what single grit hone family I would begin to
backfill as each needed replacement and what single grit hone might best be the lone hone
or hone pair that a shaver can live with.
I think the 8K hone is under appreciated no matter the brand. The shave off this one was
better than I expected by a lot.
