I can definitely feel the scratches on this stone when I hone on it. I've been testing it with a razor that isn't exactly sharp yet, just to see if I can feel them. I will try it again on the DMT,...

Can't really feel a difference with the fingernail. I might do the 600-1k-1500 progression on it again, but I might not :D
