I'm curious. What did you think of the 120 grit edge? Did you like it? How did the burr removal go? Did you get the kind of tooth and edge finish you wanted? Do you think it is too coarse? It would be cool if you posted microscope images so we could see your results.
Since it's your blade I think how you like it is far more important than my opinion, but for what it's worth, I like 150 grit for most edges. That seems to provide a nice toothy edge which can even stand up to a bit of tooth loss during deburring.
I've tried even down to 40 grit just for grins, but much less than 150 is a bit gnarly even for me.
