I will have to try this out though, see what I like better.
I wonder if the way Randy does his paste sharpening up to the .25m diamond and then "toning it down" as he calls it with the .5m chrome oxide doesn't acutally serve to dull the blade from the .25m diamond edge but just polishes it with the .5 chrome oxide paste, smoothing out the serrations to create a super sharp but super smooth edge.
We should all donate some money to get some time on an electron scanning microcope and check this stuff out:) I have one at my school I could prolly buy some time on.
