I am beginning to believe that a bit too much pressure w the UF would be fully capable of popping the diamonds out of the DMT's nickel (my D8C still looks ok at this point; using only light pressure).
IMO the UF (and Fine) is far harder than a Swaty or a Carborundum barber hone.
I read somewhere else that "A Spyderco UF is like a barber hone on steroids." No argument here...
Comparing a Spyderco UF to a Pike Ezy-Edge barber hone would be similar to comparing carbide tool steel to a ball of cotton-candy.
To Josh:
- I'm so tired of watching white Spyderco hones working their way across a DMT that I am now down to only one or two hours a day of lapping them... (some days I even take a day off). I even ran out and bought a Pike just so I could lap something different for a change (it went far too quickly).:D
- If this UF isn't where I want it by the end of the month, I'll PM you on your offer.
