Thanks for that Jimmy.
I had forgotten about drawing a grid (been away)
also, I had forgotten how ugly my hands are :rofl2:
I'm going to go hit my two line Swaty with some serious grit
if it is still shiny I'm selling it because I can't seem to get it to hone worth a hoot
edit
20 minutes later
WOW was that Swaty (correction, 3 line Yugo Swaty, not 2 line)
WOW was it glazed!!
"Hello donut shop"
"yes, this is the chief of police and I would like to order 25 dozen glazed donuts with extra glaze please"
I mean freaking GLAZED
I used 80 grit followed by 320
I stopped at 320 and lapped with a several other hones to try to get a idea of hardness
it is harder than
Cushion Strop (tan aprox 6k)
Pike Swaty
Gem (grey aprox 8K)
Swastika ( grey no idea grit)
it's harder than coticule, frictionite, unnamed and a couple other finish hones but these were known to be soft
