It kills an 8k edge, and is too slow to work well at the 1k level. Both of us are stumped as to what it is, but don't blow your fun money on it if you find one. A little embarassing to get such different results, but I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable as this person, and even less so at the time of OP. So there you have it, this sparkly stone is a pretty paperweight. haha. Moderators, feel free to delete the entire thread, if that would be a better way to mitigate misinformation. Some guys don't read the whole post, and it'd be better for them to never see the post at all, than skim it.
