Essentially, hone on 8k, test. Finish on Chinese hone, test. Compare. I hope this makes sense. Basically I'm trying to isolate things. If I hone on 8k, then the Chinese hone, then strop and shave and something is off (which it most likely will be), I won't know where I went wrong.
Thanks for any feedback.

ps-I'm a newb, but I feel like my time on the Chinese hone was ok. I had good contact, just the weight of the blade on the stone, even strokes, etc.
