Thread: DMT 8000

I think I remember where that review and the phrase "cuts like a 4k finishes like an 8k" came from..........

I don't agree with that description at all. I own a D8EE, I've used the D8EE on razors and still do from time to time in a progression. Although now, it's relegated mainly to chisels and plane irons. In my experience, even with adding a drop of dish soap to the water, there is no way the D8EE competes with the Norton 8k. No way. That D8EE is still a cutting stone. It leaves scratches. Even though I sold my Norton 4/8 to swap out for Shaptons, I thought and still think the 8k Norton is an excellent stone. I loved the feel of it. It gives great 8k level edges that you can shave off of.
