Green jade? What's that

Impressive. I will be lapping mine soon and plan to do some testing

So you just did 50 on the rougher side? What grit was the rough side laped on?

That was my first thought.

Great I look forward to hearing how they turn out

How is that working for you? Also do you prefer a Crisp edge or a soft buttery edge?

From what I heard. They tend to micro chip. I haven't tried with heavy oil though.

Interesting

So really to use a washita you need heavy oil. Basically filling in the coarse pores of the stone. Essentially the blade gliding over the top.
To me it sounds like if you have one and need to use...

A washita would be used by woodworkers. They are also not recomended for razors. This is why I mentioned it. Maybe start a thread asking what they might think. Take a pic of the sides also.

Blistersteel. Looks more like a hindostan or washita
