What do you think about this new 20/20 Honing System (mystery product)? http://www.handamerican.com/

Seems like it would be a little difficult to use but its kind of a cool idea. His sharpness test is original. I'm certain the theory has some validity.
I think you'd have to learn how to use it just like any other stone system.

I like the idea of the razor being held firmly it would be more use for restoration than honing in my opinion.Paul

It is a good idea,
But with this kind of stuff I would be really scared of while I place the blade on gently that it would SNAP to the magnet and chip the damn blade. I would be uber pissed for that..

A member (Bill Ellis) I believe, has made some mock ups like these for restoration. You can talk with him if you are interested in them.. It is with 4 or 5 rare earth magnets just like in the design of this one, but they are just circular ones placed in a mount instead of a WHOLE base being the magnet. Originally Posted by Sharp&Shiny
