how do the latest ultra fine hones compare with ultrafine coated abrasives or stropping?
I`ve seen Shapton hones of 15000 and 30000 grit advertised (The latter was $595!).
I`ve just received some 0.3 micron lapping film - anyone else tried this?
I`ve also seen diamond pastes advertised down to about 0.1 micron.
Any opinions on achieving the ultimate polished edge?

I havn`t tried stropping yet (am awaiting delivery of chrome oxide compound and strops)
