The difference should be minimal. And that's one of the reasons I'm cataloging where I'm at with the True Hard and Translucent stones.

Seems like just a few years back I was told Arkies were only good for pocket knives. A myth that needs a stake or 2 thrown in it. And of course there's the persistent quibble between whether a Translucent or Black creates the 'best' edge. Meanwhile generic True Hards seem somewhat 'forgotten.' Not maligned, just absent from the conversation - the stone that doesn't exist.
