Thread: Grit...?

I know some members of Nassrasur who use the SunTiger as polishing hone. After the 4 K you could go on to the coticule, an 8K hone or a barber hone. Barber hones are relatively cheap. Swatys are generally liked but other barber hones should do the trick as well. Barber hones aren't expensive on ebay (or on BST forum).

OTOH if you get BBS shaves off a 4K hone why look further?

Now... I just picked one of these up:
SUN TIGER DELUXE SHARPENING STONE - 4000 GRIT - eBay (item 140240401745 end time Jul-10-08 14:19:04 PDT)

Will that work? The shape is rather strange, do you somehow work on the flat side or on the curved?
