Finally I have a super fine diamond slipstone available in a 1200 grit. It is the same shape as the 600 grit, but with the finer particles. Primarily designed for bench and carving tools, or turners who want a burst of extra sharpness. Size: 5" long, 2" wide and 1/4" thick. This is not the hone shown in the Craft Supplies catalog using my name--which is a flat, one-side plated hone and not a slipstone.
Designed with the carver in mind, this 1200 grit slipstone gives a remarkable super fine finish. It is for very light honing--really to refine the edge from the 600 grit hone. Covered on all surfaces with natural diamond--except for the very ends. Some turners will go to the 1200 grit for refining the edge for a short burst of sharpness--as in cutting a difficult area or just to further reduce the amount of sanding. The 600 grit is still the best all-in-one hone for the woodturner.
