Hi, just after joining, so I'm a complete, newbie after reading about the different hones ( course to very fine, 1k upto 10k+) I was wondering is grit the more important factor then type?
To explain exactly what I mean, say I have a good collection of hones and I have as final polishing a choice of hones. Thats the same grit size (I know that my choices may not be exactly the same, but for this question say they are) An Escher, chinese 12k, spyderco Ultra fine. Could I change between these and get much the same result (allowing for the fact that the Chinese 12k would need more laps then the others etc).
I hope I've not put the question too awkwardly.
