Apply the tool to the job at hand and see how it does.

Thank you for the messages. I was going from a 1500 DMT diamond to a
8000 water stone and I just ordered a 3000 grit water stone to use
after the 1500 DMT, as well as a magnifying glass to see my progress
as I go through the different grits. When I get the new stone I will
be sure to build up the slurry and work off of that.

Does anybody have a sharpness test other than shaving my arms or my
wife's legs?
