The pictures are meant to show what actually happens at the edge from using waterstones. They are a visual reference for what happens at the microscopic level to which we can't see with eyes alone.

I hope that these pictures serve to provide you with a better idea of what you're achieving at the edge while sharpening. I think it helps to be able to refer to this while you're working away.
*Please note - What particular stones used are not important here - it's about what happens (in general) at each grit level that's of relevance.

hey Dave im guessing that the numbers listed are the hone grits not the mag x power. so what power did you use for the shots 60x 100x or 200x
just for my point of ref.
It's been a few years since I shot these so I may be wrong but I recall them being taking at 200x magnification.
