I think the Spyderco ultrafine stone is rated at 4000 grit
(ref:
Sticky Thread:
The Grand Unified Grit Chart - latest chart in Post
#28)
that is coarser than the 6000 grit belt -
also at the same grit - high speed machine polishing always gives better finish than hand honing/polishing -
so how does that polish better than the 6000 grit belt?
Unless what you are saying is that you are setting your final edge with the ultrafine stone -
(understandable as that's what I used to do when hand sharpening convex edges -
But that was because I didn't trust getting consistent angles with my manual freehand sharpening) -
so does that mean you don't trust the final edge from the Work Sharp?
- are the angles from the WSKTS not precise enough,
or leaves something to be desired?
