    I rate my Translucent as sharp as hell.

    Still need testing to see where it sits relative to my 12K. But, since my 12K is a ceramic Kuromaku, that could change depending on how that stone is surfaced. I haven't messed with it to see if polishing the 12K changes it's performance.

    That's neither here nor there though. Sounds like the Spyderco hones fall into the same category Swaty type barber hones do. Coarse cutting material in a very hard binder that allows them to cut finer than the grit composition might lead one to expect at first glance. Particularly if it's well broken in.

    Could not agree more.
    A little advice: Don't impede an 80,000 lbs. 18 wheeler tanker carrying hazardous chemicals.
