Oops, first posted this in the "general..." thread, sorry.
Hi all,
I have the Lansky Arkansas stone system and added the diamond medium and fine hones. Love the system but need comments and recommendations on adding another hone.
Would I get better service out of the Ultra-fine or Super Sapphire hone?
It will be used for a final polish.
Thanks,
Kai
 
If you're wanting a high-as-possible mirror finish, get the Fine (600) and UF (1000) ceramics, at least, before the Super Sapphire. Jumping from the fine diamond straight to the Sapphire won't likely get you a mirror. Won't clean up the scratches. The 'fine' diamond leaves a more aggressive finish (coarser) than either/any of the ceramics will, which are ideally suited for polishing.
