I just finished my first knife with this stuff in 400 grit:

I must say I like it loads better than a scotchbright finish. It's a little harder to use on a wide blade (took some practice), but I think the results were much more pleasing. Scotchbright belts, if you look close enough, leave lines that travel from spine to edge. This stuff doesn't do that. It's hard to describe and no use taking a picture, you wouldn't see the difference unless you move the blade in the light.
It left a little sparkle that I toned down with pink no scratch.
Net result is the blade (S30V) had better 'color' and a more 'matt' finish. At the same time it keep a better mirror quality. Does that make sense? The scotch bright kind-a clouds the steel for me. This stuff does the opposite.
Not saying it's better for everyone or anything, just thought I'd pass that this on to those folks that like trying stuff. It's worth the $6.50 to try.
