Thread: Scratch pattern off Norton 8k seems too rough

That does happen if I place the 4k/8k in a stoneholder, but for this try I went straight from the sink, where I lapped it, to where I did the test so the 8k was never on the downside. Just to be specific, I am getting a mirror finish as I said in my original post. The striations only show up when you hold the edge at a specific angle with the light. I didn't know if this was normal behavior which was why I made the thread. For all I know most ppl get similar results off their 8k, they just don't magnify it and play with the light angle. This is the same edge with different lighting
