Thread: problem on the 1k

I have a smoothing trick for the Norton 8k

After you get the edge as good as you think you can on the hone _STOP_
clean the hone, rinse the hone...

Now very very slowly and as with just enough pressure to keep the blade even on the hone (Butterfly's kiss pressure )
Start doing the most perfect X strokes you can manage, taking 2 full seconds at least from end to end... Keep doing them until the hone goes to just barely damp.. That will get the max out of the Norton 8k IME then do the CrOx or whatever your stropping plans are...

Try it with intense concentration on those 15-20 strokes I think you will be very happy with what happens... Keep in mind these is for after you think you have it as good as it gets...
