I agree. The norton 4k/8k+CrOx was one of the standard honing setups back in 2006, before the ready availability of the high-grit hones (the other was collectively N4k/8k+high-grit hone which was...

Of course there is a time issue if you jump to the higher grits too soon. I don't remember how many Verhoeven had to do on the chrome oxide, but IIRC it was several times as many as he did when he...

Actually Verhoeven looked at this in his paper. He found that even if you short-circuited the progression the higher grits would eventually produce the exact same edge they would had you gone up...

That is true, but it is true for any progression and isn't specific to Shapton, so this point, while correct, is nonetheless orthogonal to the OP's question. Whether the bevel is set correctly...

anything+CrO = CrO.

Verhoeven looks at this under an electron microscope in his paper "Experiments in Knife Sharpening".

The hones you use before the final polish don't matter to the final...
