I don't think you could fake one of these because of the size and the lines in the surface. Or maybe you could but you would need a box too?
I only used these previously with full hollows and the edges were really nice. Sharp and smooth, maybe not in the same sharp categories as jnats but sharp enough.
As I said the edges on this one makes me say Wow.. The edges are distinctive, not like a jnat nor an Escher. Very sharp smooth.. Never used pastes so I can't comment..
And yes they are one stop hones after a bevel set although I have yet to try and set a bevel with one. To use this as a finisher after synthetics would confuse things and give worse results imo,maybe.
It is also super easy to figure out so far.. I don't know if your can go too far with one?
I do have better and more interesting hones but this one is a shock to me.
