so i have been honing around lately and taking pictures with a microscope after each process , i think it is an amazing learning tool .
so i thought i would start by posting the progression on this blade ,a nice wade and butcher.
my normal progression is 1k ,3k ,8k ,12k all nanniwa , and finish on Jnat .

after the 1K

after the 1k i moved to the 3k and then to the 8k , and as you can see the photo at the 8k showed a problem , care to comment?
so i stopped there and thought to return to the 3K ,what do you think?
