They may have been less visible at 3000. This does not always happen, but I find this tape works differently with difference steels. Being so fine it is the most fragile of the 3 tapes. Make sure you start with stropping strokes to knock down any left over bur before you push with this tape, it should last you at least a few knives if you are gentle. If you feel like your polish gets WORSE with these tapes, it is an illusion. I love the 6k, they make your edges look like a million bucks!Was this rating helpful to you?
