What grit stropping compound should you get?

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND! If you are a new sharpener you are certainly not getting 100~ straight off the stone so you WILL see an improvement from using 6um after sharpening. For an example of how sharp this knife was please see the values I extracted from the Bess sharpness scale below. 250-350 = New High end cutlery edges 150-200 = Utility Razor blade 25-75 = double edge razor blade Factory new Spyderco usually test around 140-170 for me. Summary of my thoughts 6um is great for maintaining a dulling blade & mirroring. Sub 1um is great for pushing for ultimate sharpness.
