Not suggesting you use slurry in the pyramid, only that you can gauge the cutting speed by that characteristic. Perhaps the 8k Kitiyama is a good idea.
I like the cut of your jib, sir! And you got a good name, too.

OK, I'll try the coticule (oh how I suffer!) and see if it works. If, for some reason, it DOESN'T work, then perhaps I'll be forced to try another hone!

In all seriousness, I think I got a "medium" cutter. Compared to Bart's pics, my slurry didn't darken as fast as his fast cutter, but it wasn't too far off. It's good to know that the pyramid can be adapted to other stones, the wiki pretty much says it's for Norton 4K/8K only...
