Diamond plates from CKTG for edge pro - good?

And imagine how much sharper yet you'll be able to get with practice, and perhaps a couple good strops and some of the sub-micron compounds Ken has. :D

He's got em' down to .010 micron, as I recall.
 
update:
I purchased another of the diamond plates from CKTG, the 74micron. I have used it once along with the 125 micron, and I do like them both. The scratch pattern is not quite as nice as the chosera stones but they seem to work well. I will update here as I get more use out of them. I will also try to pick up a DMT diasharp plate for my hand sharpening stuff and then I will have a reference for diamond plates.

also I made a few strops, and have loaded 2 of them with 1micron paste from HandAmerican, and the .5 green stuff also from HA. I have officially got hair popping shrap on 2 of my blades. I unfortunately can not whittle hair (or so I think). I can make 1 slice and curl up part o the hair, the second cut always cuts through it. I also have to have a slight tension on the hair to do it, or I put my finger behind the hair and slice slowly.
 
FWIW I made my own diamond stone plates for my EP. I used DMT Diasharp 4" stones on my own aluminum backing plates. IIRC I got the stones from Woodcraft.com and the aluminum from Ace Hardware. Not hard to do at all. I also made glass stropping plates for the EP and used BRKT black and green compounds on them.... or Mother's Mag Polish. Worked great until I got into paper wheels.
