Now, if you really hate them, then it's time for the high end grit sandpaper again.

Can't really feel a difference with the fingernail. I might do the 600-1k-1500 progression on it again, but I might not

I have to lap my Chinese 12k, as well.

I can definitely feel the scratches on this stone when I hone on it. I've been testing it with a razor that isn't exactly sharp yet, just to see if I can feel them. I will try it again on the DMT, followed by a progression on sandpaper on glass to see if I can get it smooth again. It is very hard, but the DMT scratched it up.
