Yep...my butterscotch is partially, translucent. And is fully capable of reaching an 8k, stage. I find it much easier to just progress to another stone, and use it more for after initial bevel...

Congrats, on a great stone. Probably the most versatile hone I've ever used. Burnish the living crap out of it, once u have it flat. The longer u use it, the better they get.

I only use mine...
