Oh, I have used it to do the initial sharpening on a few blades and it worked just fine for the few that didn't need major bevel work. And I love the width of it. I'm one of those fools that cut his Norton in half. I like 'em skinny. I just want something a bit longer for the major work, but I would like it to feel at least a little like using a coticule with slurry or even like the Norton 8k. Can anyone compare the feel of the Shapton pros to what I am describing? Still not sure that I like the Norton 4k, although it is much more useable now.
