Thanked: 3795Many of the Chinese hones have those lines in them and they are considered to be a basic characteristic of the hones. I have two such hones with the lines and they have no impact on the honing. I believe that is the experience of most who have used these hones.
All natural hones will vary in quality and characteristics, but I don't think the lines on the hone serve as an indicator of the serviceability of the Chinese hone.Last edited by Utopian; 12-19-2010 at 03:19 PM.

Never had any line issues here, but I've only tried out 3 of them.
I do recall reading some posts saying some have coarse inclusions in them, though. Not sure if that was in the lines or just in the hone in general. I also haven't seen (or at least haven't noticed) any of those posts recently, so maybe it was a false alarm or isolated incident.
