Honing with 6000 grit Japanese Waterstone? 10000 needed?
Alrighty, mighty honing gods. Pour upon me some wisdom.
Bought a TI 6/8 Super Gnome. Also a Dovo Prima Rindleder Strop.
Shave 3 times, ding blade. Buy a used Penguin 6000 grit Japanese waterstone from a friend.
Get ding out with 6000 grit waterstone (took a huge number of strokes). Was very careful with technique.
I realize I need something better than 6000 to get the blade sharp enough.
Which would be better: A 10,000 grit Japanese Waterstone, or the 4000/8000 grit Norton waterstone?
