'feel' of the norton 8K
This is perhaps related to the 'norton roughtness' thread, but it's different enough to start another thread.
I have only started using the 8K a couple of days ago.
I lapped it on waterproof 600 grit 3M sandpaper.
When honing (light pressure) it sometimes feels as if something snags the blade.
I can't feel anything with my thumb, so I can see 3 possibilities:
1) that is embedded grit from the sandpaper
2) there are micro burrs along the edge that get snagged by the stone which is much softer than the 1K or 4K sides.
3) unlikely, but something is wrong with the stone.
So how is the 8K side supposed to feel?Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
