Atoma 1200 finishing off the S35VN… ?
Published: 4 months ago
The Atoma 1200 is a rough 1200 grit (around 12 microns) the is incredibly satisfying to use. It is rough enough to still use a 9-micron 1200 after it!
The Atoma is a great finish-sharpening stone to just strop after. I like to use a ceramic after, but use what you have. A 6-micron strop then progressing further is fine too.
The feedback is more like listening for blips in a perfect tone than the change-in-static sound that most stones, traditional or diamond or ceramic, all have. The dots also provide incredible tactile feedback while the higher grits are still quite easily indexed visually against the bevel of a knife.
Overall, the Atoma stones can be a value addition to your sharpening set, if you’re willing to do a little shopping and putting-together.
