Thanks for the reply. I will not learn to hone yet. Just trying to get a little collection together first. something old something new a cup some soap etc... Ive been eyeing a very nice looking ERN. Once I get a few I will send them to someone here to get shave ready. I do have some nice wood scales that need to be shaped and finished. Ebony, cocobolo, zebra and leopard etc... I have around 8-10. I just dont know if they are long enough.

Once again, thanks for the reply
