Edge Finish

[FLHTK]

What grit/micron do you go to for your final finish on CPM S30V?

For a toothy edge I'll use a 400 grit CBN or diamond and a quick strop with 1 micron diamond, which usually takes it from shaving sharp to hair popping.

For a polished edge my favorite progression for s30v and s35vn is:
400 grit CBN or Venev diamond
1100 grit EP diamond
2300 grit EP diamond
4000 grit EP diamond

I like and use a lansky medium diamond stone to finish most of my blades.

My KME goes up to 1500 grit diamond plate so I stop there.Maybe I'll strop on loaded leather,maybe I won't.The edge is always very sharp.

It's not the easy way but it's the Cowboy way.
I'm very pleased with the results edge durability wise. (I can get the edges as sharp initially with other / none diamond methods but the edge quality drops off to an alarming degree with use).

Does that include the Suehiro G8 from Gritomatic?
