An update:
So far, I've sharpened and stropped 4 pocket knives, 3 kitchen knives and 2 mora belt knives.(One carbon and one stainless) I used the white abrasive, 5,000 grit, and the green which is 8,000 grit. I'm very pleased with the results. It came with a 12,000 grit as well, but I don't think I'll need that unless I plan to castrate flies.
I accidentally shaved a callous on my knuckle with my opinel #8 carbone. It was so smooth that I didn't even feel the contact! Yeah, I know, cut away from you not towards you. Tonight I sliced a ripe tomato with my victorinox chef's knife for my Greek lamb burger. Since I only needed one slice I tried super thin slices for the heck of it. It's sharp enough I could read a newspaper through the thinnest slice.
