I'm glad to hear that, on the one blade of the four I got honed on the Zulu time on the Escher improved it, no doubt. The other 3 blades edges are so good I don't want to mess with them yet, :)) But it's great to hear this is a finer hone than an Escher and I have one coming my way.
it's taking awhile for me to learn the Escher properly, hopefully the learning curve with my zulu will be shorter.
