I often go direct from the DMTEE straight to ChromOx.

Love it.


On the Zowada website he shows edge comparrisons of finishing stones. He sets the edge with a Norton 8000, and then uses a variety of finishers.

The two that look the cleanest are the Chinese 12K, and the Cromox.

If you are going to finish on CromOx, I don't think a finishing hone above 8k is required. Just as long as the 8k level is honed correctly to begin with as stated above.
