Mr. Mark, I do not have your new hone. I have not ask you for it because I was not sure about the postage fee for sending it over the pond to Europe.
In the attached image you can see the Tormek honing compound, I use, taken at magnification 500X. The image was taken in transmission light where the compound was on glass slide. The average grain size of this aluminium oxide abrasive is 3 micron. It is assumed, that during honing, the grains break and so become much smaller.
