Now that puts a different slant on lt (pun intended) :)

Cris,

Good point!

thanks,

Ian

I have flattened it several times. It is not the flattening I'm interested in, it is specifically whether using a finer flattening agent will produce a better hone surface.

thanks,

Ian

True, but as with high grade metal polishing (bike alloy :) ) using a finer grit to level the stone would be gentler on the stone's grit high points?

I flatten my Norton 4/8K using a glass plate with water lubricated 800 grit silicon carbide paper.

Should I get a finer sharpening if I used a higher grit of paper?
