Thread: First hone- which should I get?

One other thing I do have to point out, I am recommending what I think is the easiest hone(s) for a newbie to get started with here, I am not recommending what I think are the best hones out there.....
The Norton system is a starting point, not a ending point, although some are more than satisfied with just that...

Soaking the hones is sometimes used as a negative when referring to Norton stones, myself when thinking of this for a newbie I think it is a good thing to take the time to set up the honing station and to make sure you have everything ready to go, including your brain in the hone zone......
