It's 1200 grit .Flat .and inexpensive compared to say a Norton.Any useful advice or information would be greatly received.:thumbup1:

They may call a 1200 grit "super fine", but it's a medium by knife standars, and way too coarse for anything but a major overhaul of a razor. The Norton is a 4000/8000 by way of comparison.

Oooops missed that .I though it was 12000 .Glad I didnt order!.Thank you :blushing:

:lol: Never heard of a 12K diamond hone, and don't know if I'd want one. My experience tells me that diamonds work their magic best at lower grits, but Joel and others report excellent results with the DMT 8K diamond plate.
