I'm doing quite well with a 1-sided bench hone, treated with 0.5. It may take me 5-10 more strokes than if I went with 1.0 first but that's nothing on the grand scheme of things. I would have wasted...

With chromium oxide, you'd start off with 15 and test every 10, so as you see, the difference isn't that great.

Chromium Oxide will work on INOX. The difference in hardness isn't all that great. It will just take a couple more strokes.
