Thread: How do you become a Honemeister

Enjoy...

yes I honed it and honestly i don't know if it is as sharp as it can be but so far it does a very nice job and the only time it is uncomfortable is when i go over and area 800 times because i cant figure out my angles and stokes. but i totally agree that for a beginner a pro-honed razor is a good thing...don't get me wrong. Im just being the voice of the hobby. Oh and also, ha ha ha, I know that "honemeister" isn't an official, college degree type, title and that it is more of an honorary one. i don't even think it is phonetically possible to have a half english half german title and have it have meaning...isn't "to hone" schleifen in german? More or less i was asking what it takes for one to become what might consider an expert honesman. Ha ha ha it got yall's attention though...now i know how to title my threads if i need a fast answer

Change your Name to gugi, or gssixgun, or Lynn!

RAD + HAD = all the practice needed to become a Honemeister

What Glen said... and for every kind of face.

ha ha ha well Ive already fallen victim. Ive already bought a couple vintages from the bay and i have hones galore thanks to my closet full of knives.
