Such a test to see what each hone can do is not too reliable

Its like bending a horse shoe straight.
The better method would be using a hone on a pristine surface like a piece of a CD.

Anyway, cheap eBay blades can be very different.
Wow! Absolutely beautiful natural stones and photos Olivia! Gave me goose bumps, really!
May i ask why those photos aren't in wiki?
Oh, an English translation, for us people, who think our language is the center of the universe, would be nice. lol

Thanks,
