Thanks for the detail shot Keith. Looks awesome. I was planning to buy a grey strata since I am getting small discount for the dud I got but I think I will change to a Gila now. Even if just for the looks.
I still would like to try one of the coarser stones. But these do look beautiful. By "aggressive" do mean sharp?
I don't think in terms of sharp so I have no point of reference. Aggressiveness, refinement and cutting efficiency I understand.
