These progressions do take time
[/Quote]Yes, I learned that the hard way. Your explanation of scratches from low-level grits suddenly becoming apparent again at much higher level grits was very informative in that respect. On the other hand, I also learned not to do too much polishing on every grit size. The first knife I did on the WE got beautifully sharp, but it took me five hours! So if you can give any indications about how long you spent grinding/polishing at a particular grit level (or the number of push strokes, or …) that would be very helpful.

BTW – Mark – I was able to tighten the screw on the clip that holds the veho scope to the base. It took out about 90% of the wobble…. I wish I had thought about that sooner! :woohoo:
Do you mean you don’t take your photographs anymore by setting the microscope directly on top of the blade surface? But instead use the base which you set at, e.g. 1 ” from that blade ? If that is possible, it would be a real improvement what we can do with the Veho.
