Thread: Hone confusion

There is a chance there are some sand grit particles lodged in the higher grit stones. Or maybe the higher grit stones aren't lapped completely flat. How do the shaves compare. I wouldn't use slurry after the 4k and just make sure stones are flat. I know some 8k stones give higher polish then other ones for example but usually they all around 8k area. I also talked to a guy who had his 6k glass stone finish higher than his 16k and it was something with how the particles were resting, but I think that was sort of an odd case.
