Thread: Buying Chinese 12K in Europe?

yeah, I´ve seen that one before. This is kinda how I used the 0.5µm Alumina on the C12k

I wouldn´t necessarily recommand that for straights (never tried it) but for kitchenware and tools,
it works. But I wouldn´t do that on my Maruka, because mine is as fine as heck, even without 30k SiC

I used the exact same method on my Ohira (~8-9.000) with 0.5µm Al2O3 and two kitchen knives.
The results where comparable to the C12k with Al2O3. If you use a heavy slurry like in the video,
you will notice a strong, really really strong polishing power. I have to buy a whole package of the 0.5µm Al2O3 one of these days.
At the moment I only have a small sample and am a little hesitant to use it
