Thread: Scratches on wedges from honing?

Natural or artificial stone? It can happen with both but there are some notoriously "dirty" stones that make me crazy when using them because they're unpredictable in their result.

Wow, I didn't see this one resurrected from the dead. Since originally posting, I have just paid more attention to not trying to go too fast and I rarely get these anymore. I have found it is sometimes just errant grit from slurry or whatever and can't be avoided. At that point I start cursing and go back to grind/polish the scratch out.

I am glad to see someone bring this up. I have honed wedges and the same thing happened. I still have not achieved the perfect mirror, but in my close attempt, I have had to go back and try to buff out light scratched off the blade. My bevels though usually look pretty clean off the Norton 8 and then improve more with the chinese 12K. I hope you find the solution because it would be a great help.
