Right there ..

If the particles do not break down any farther, then they would be "Floating" the very fin away from the hone
Don't know

Honestly I think it just doesn't make any sense nor does it fit my experience that an edge that is losing steel is getting "Duller" not without coming to the end of the geometry/limits of the edge and creating a failed edge what we call Over Honing



But we are also limiting the term itself to only one stone now... So does the term Slurry Dulling only apply to a Coticule ??? We know other stones can hone using slurries from start to finish also sooooooo
