grepper,
In here, South Korea, many people use whetstones and most of them prefer shiny edge. Especially they praise the natural whetstone. I've heard that it is better to remove the burr than the leather&compound and cut the very hard steel well. But I have never used it.
Another advantage of shiny edge they say is corrosion resistance. This is quite important for carbon steel knives. I agree with that.
