I completely agree.
years ago I had an electric low speed Makita wet stone system
circular stones , went to 1000 grit ( a white wet stone )
for fun I made a circular disc and glued on a circular piece pf leather
and used the green grit polishing paste on that
the system wa designs for wood shop tools and the like
chisels , lathe tools
gave my chisels a stunning edge.
w EdgePeo past 600 - 800 isn't really going to help you much in the kitchen
unless you have knives similar to
Watanabe's , which are thin and can hold a 1000 grit edge.
when you cut yourself w a 1000 grit Watanabe edge
you hardly notice , except for the blood everywhere
but then all you have to do ,is tape up the wounds edges , the cut is so clean
and mop up the blood.
