My comment is: Use it! And appreciate it.
4"x <0.5"x <0.5"? Those were used for cleaning up soldering joints if memory serves. Would be tricky to use with razors, and I don't love Tams with razors anyway. I like Tam's with knives, but 4" is teeny for use with knives.
I use the small ones like that for slurry on my bigger ones.
They are generally more popular with jewelers and watchmakers in that size.
Given the general speed of tams, unless it is for fine work like smoothing joints where you need the rods more is definitely more. I enjoy them with razors... I should say, I enjoy those massive dual hones I have with razors as I can pretty much do a no slurry progression provided I lead into the dalmore wisely and follow the tam with another bump forward.
