Thread: Cleaning up and honing a new antique store find: A.J. Jordan

If you really want to follow a 12k edge with a coticule, then probably 10-15 strokes would be sufficient. You might be better off just going from the 8k to the coticule and skipping the 12k altogether. The number of strokes needed with that scenario will vary but are more likely to be in the range of the 75 that you did. I'd try increments of just 25 at a time though.
