    For what it is worth Sham said the edge is like Escher. I would say it is on par with the best Jnats I have tried. I think it is a great stone to have if you can afford it.

    Actually, what Sham says means a LOT to me as he was my honing mentor. Guess this will be the next stone for me...thanks for the input guys...sorry for the thread hijack.

    I am hoping to get some clarification regarding the micro chipping. Is this a description of an over honed edge? I just received my Gokumyo 20k and have a couple of razors that have micro chips on the edge. My question is: do I take the razors right to the Gokumyo or take them back to 4K/8k then to the Gokumyo ?
    Thanks

    Of course it will not hurt to put the razors to the Suehiro first and see what happens, it may work who knows. If the Suehiro is too slow, take the razor to 8k and see if you can get the chips out, if they are indeed microscopic that should work, if not you need to go to the 4k and then up again.
