6000 Grit Honing Stone, for final stages of sharpening.
These stones will cut hard steels faster and wear slowly. Each stone has a very consistent particle size resulting in a smoother finish as each consequent grain is closer and sharpens out the previous grind mark. The reason for laminating the stone with tempered is to keep the abrasive part as flat as much as possible because the stone usually distorts after water penetration.
