Thanks Marshal. Since the stone is so small I think it would lap up quite fast. I lapped a similar sized SB Ark and I know it can take some time. I can tell it's not perfectly flat but its very close. I have every grit of wet dry sandpaper and one of those granite lapping plates.

One thing that I've always wondered is how did Norton decide on how smooth or rough to make the factory surface? I'd like to match what it feels like now after a lapping. This stone is totally new. Looks like it's been sitting in that box all this time. No oil, no scratches - nothing.

Still need to decide on what I wanna do about the sticker.
