After the 5000# Shaptons, the edge is coming along beautifully:

Zoom In – 230x
5000# Shapton Stones – 230x
I went a little longer with the 5000# stones since the jump up from the 2000# stones was larger. The edge looks like a mirror to the naked eye at this point and it’s both polished and burnished. Due to the high polish, the microscope’s camera is starting to have a hard time focusing. I see this a lot with highly polished edges.
Approximately 180 strokes per side. Elapsed time: 00:03:00
