Thread: What happened?

what stone progression are you using your not getting the lower grit scratchs out

I use these:http://www.fallkniven.com/en/shop/de.../sharpeners/d4
Small Naniwa Combination Stone Grit 1000/3000 - 1000 grit is not good, 3000 yes, sometimes Rozsutec-about 8 000, Moravian Suchacek slate about 8000, Chinese 12 K.
Almost all are natural and slow maybe that´s problem. I think i need something like this: Combination Stones | DICTUM GmbH - More Than Tools

It may be that your Rozsutec/Suchacek, being natural stones, are more like 10k than an 8k. And being slow, it may be too much of a jump to go from the 3k to the others without spending a TON of time working out the 3k scratches. Maybe someone with more experience with your particular stones can speak to this with more authority.

You should get better results with a medium slurry on the rozsutec to bridge the gap between the 3k.

I have a new Naniwa 600 grit stone and i ordered Norton 220/1000 for better bevel setting.
I know they write that Rozsutec is about 6000 grit, but it is really finer. That is stone from my land and i experimented with it for a year.

I have tried that razor a little and i think it shaves nicely.

Rozsutec stone is around 6k if your new to honing i would stay away from diamond stones they leave deep scratchs
