Thread: Minimum kit for honing SRs

Well, each hone only matters up until you're finished with it. With each progressive stone you should be wearing away the stria from the previous one, and further refining the edge. Once you're done with you Norton 4k, anything done by your 1K should be erased. Same for your 8K, and your 12K. So it shouldn't matter if you start with King, shift to Norton, then bounce over to Shapton, when you're done you should have a Shapton 12K edge assuming you did your part correctly.
