Sorry to dig up old thread but I'm looking hard into buy Shapton's from the get-go and usually try to bring up old threads instead of starting new one's where possible.

We can make a jump of quadruple grits? (What I mean is...everyone's is jumping from 1000 to 4000!?) I had always heard, and with sandpaper at lower grits working on hunting/kitchen knives, have learned that jumping more than double grit will end up costing you time (and tired hands) in the long run.


Ceramics just cut THAT much faster I suppose?
