Sheffield round: W&B finished on SG20k versus a Wosty finished on the Shapton Glass 16k. Both edges were very nice but a clear win the Shapton glass, giving a smoother and sharper edge. The Shapton is in the lead 3-2-1
Round 7 This round features Mastro Livi Gifrettos, both edges were nice but the Gokuymo 20k beat the Shapton glass 16k in smoothness and sharpness. The final score is a tie 3-3-1, I guess I just have to keep both stones.
