It cuts well, but it leaves an horrendous scratch pattern that will take a hellishly long time to remove with a 12k stone. I used to shave off the DMT8EE, but the edges are not exactly refined, & it's not something I'd want to do now.

I don't have the experience with pastes to know what they'd do after the DMT. I have Dovo black & red, but they're a fall back & for occasional touch ups.

I guess you prefer to do it yourself to avoid international shipping. Don't know what else is available to you out there, but what about the standard Norton 4/8?
