Would this be a good option to refresh an edge?

They will provide a very keen edge. Without a finisher, I would have to do a lot of stropping after my 8K GS to get it as smooth as I like but that is not a deal killer.

I find the Shapton Glass stones to cut very quickly and even faster when using a slurry, 8k is fine but for me something a little higher in grit would be better to get a more refined edge but you could do the 8k the a CrOx pasted strop and be good.

The Glass stones are good, but for refreshing an edge I'd go for a finer grit than 8k, probably the 16k since the stones are fast enough.

Cheers, Steve

I have the 30K and something about that stone, we just don't get along. It's the only stone I've ever used where I have never gotten the result I expected from it.

In the 16K range I'd just get the Suhiro 20K. It's quick, easy to use and is a great stone.

TomP30, do you have any other hones yet? If so, it would help if you let us know what they are.
