    Here is a relevant, recent thread about grit on your Norton. To make a long story shorter, grit in a Norton seems to be very rare and most often something introduced by the user.

    Another link.

    An Ebay special frequently has old, oxidised, weak steel on the edge that develops microchips easily. Stay on the 4K until the old steel is worn off and the microchips are gone then move on to the conservative pyramid.


    Just my two cents,

    Send the hone back and get a new one. Then lap the new hone before using it. Your problem should be solved.
