Ya, I believe I mentioned in my first reply that water only will give the keenest edge.
If you find it too sharp then use a little slurry to temper
I found my best edged from mine, came from dry honing with weight of blade.
Have no idea what type they are, except, hard.
Just an little update, might be helpful to someone, or maybe not.
I've been experimenting with my Jnats for a year now.
I've tried
13/16 W&B Keen Bow Razor. This was my first time making the traditional shaped scales. I am surprised they came out looking fairly good.
