Thread: Jnat Finisher honing with Water Only

Or, use the Smiths solution or any non petroleum based liquid with oily feeling that can be washed out easily. Don't worry, you will not ruin your stones.

On the final stages of honing, I always hone under running water. Not only the particles that can get loose, anything that floats in the air can stick on the stone.

Like the hair from my two bengal cats? or my doberman? yeah, hate when that happens!!!

Cat hair everywhere!
They also lick my hones and sharpen their claws on them, the Devon Rex goes for the Nakayama kiita and the wild cat for sandstone.
