Welcome, do you use a honing service in NYC? If so, could you share the name and address?

Thanks

I was using an elderly Polish gentleman from Greenpoint for years but he has since moved. My honing is now done by Ray Habyan (Ray-Man on B&B) in Texas. I'm very happy with his work.

We look forward to you sharing your years of experience.
