My little one leaves a wonderful smooth edge seemingly no matter how I use it, but it seems to shine most on smiling Sheffields, wonky grinds, and hard steel. I have also used it at times to smooth an overly-sharp edge that was too harsh. I have even used it to make "thuri slurry" for other natural finishers, which worked best on my Zulu Grey.
