    Really, you can call it anything you wish as long as you don't give it a grit rating.

    I move to cannonize it as the PHIG.
    So let it be written, so let the delicious cookie/snack cake puns commence!

    All this signifying with these letters ..... acronyms, whateveryacallit .... makes me feel old suddenly. Fast forward 50 years from now. Guys will be paying thousands of dollars for the legendary PHIG stone on ebay.

    ( BTW. I'd rather have used the green Big Grin Smiley but after the update it disappeared. The ROFL2 is cool but a bit of overkill compared to my true meaning )
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    How do these stones compare to say a Belgian 8k hone?

    Utopian... I took Latin in h.s. and still remember enough of it after 45 years to appreciate your tag line "Illegitimum non carborundum" (^-^)d

    P.S. When you practice thread necromancy you sometimes bring back more than you intended! (^0^)
