I think it is a poor razor hone but works ok for setting an edge and I think it qualifies as a razor hone, but that it is not 1200 grit. I will hone a razor on it and check it under a microscope. But I would still just be guessing from my use of it. I would think a 1200 would feel rougher than a 4,000 and it is smoother than 4,000.
