Thanked: 150Apples and oranges, my friend. A synthetic stone puts a different edge on a blade than a natural stone, maybe 30k synthetic is unpleasant but 40k+ natural is wonderful.
Then again, I don't have shaptons to compare to, so I'll take your word that the 30k is superfluous.
I guess I just have a hard time believing that a 10k hone could ever achieve the smoothness that a finer natural stone could because there will always be 10k grit in the slurry, no matter how fine some of the particles become.
