Thread: Need Advice on a CL find

Good luck to ya!

It looks like you've done well.
I'd hone it as soon as it arrived if it were me - just to get a good starting point (and I like honing).
See how it goes and let us all know

I do have a little experience honing knives - kitchen, Bucks, and military types, and have a diamond honing stone set. I will be reading up on stropping and honing after I get through all the other newbies articles I have not read yet. But I think I would feel more comfortable with a professional honing my SR for the first time.....

And I will definitely keep my new friends here up to date.

Where do you plan to get it honed? Locally? If I may pry? And that's a sharp looking set you got

If it needs to be honed, I am thinking I would feel more comfortable with a professional. From reading here and SRD, I am inclined to see if Lynn, or other expert here on SRP would take on the task for me. Thanks for the confidence booster on the Dovo I picked out.

The black spots might come of with metal polish but be careful around the gold wash because the polish will take it off. The Dovo Black Star is a nice razor I have that same one It was my first.

I am more worried about the pitting that is close to the edge, to see it clearly you have to increase the zoom to about 200. Regardless it is going to be my first, and at the least I will have a hard case and strop if it turns out to be a PoS that can not be saved/honed.
