I know its how you lap them, but for those who have this stone, where do you actually use it in your honing progression, i lapped my quite well, finishing with a 1200 grit wet sandpaper, and its seem smooth, but i have no idea where to throw it in my honing progression, i have the nirwania combo and c12k at the moment, and a redundant dt?
Dragon tongue.

I seem to recall reading that they are in the area of 5-9k.
Many stones become finer with lapping. The only difference between the Spyderco F and UF is how the company laps/sands them. If you're patient enough to lap the UF to the nth degree, it can be like a Shapton 16K. I believe the same holds true for the Dragon's Tongue. If you lap it properly, it can replace a 12K stone.
