    This puts me in mind of a little project I keep wanting to try. I'd like to get a couple of naniwas, maybe the 5000 and the 10,000, pop them off the stands and glue them together, then cut the whole thing in half and have two "barber hones" that will have known grit, known honing properties, etc. that I can take with me when I travel. I know, I know, lots of nice barber hones out there, but sometimes on long trips (I take a good many of those) I'd like just to have my Naniwas and a home-made barber hone of the 5K/10K or maybe 8K/12K type could be nice.

    PM me. I'm considering selling, that's right, selling my Nani 12k. I want to master the 4k/8K and try to reduce my honing acquisition disorder

    I began my razor honing "career" with a smaller stone. I think it's 1.5" X 6. I love holding the stone in my palm and honing. Though I love my Nani's - they have always seemed too big and cumbersome for me... for me.

    If someone would cut those nani's in 4, and in half height wise, and then glue two together with a thin piece of brass in-between to give it a little strength - I would be a happy camper indeed! Very happy!

    I always wanted to do it myself, but the saw needed is illusive - what would you use? If anyone could tell me how to do it - I'll be the first to do so.

    You should be able to accomplish that with a hack saw. Either 24 tpi or 32 tpi. Let us know how you make out.

    Lol - I think any body could cut these things with a hack saw... Even me. :-) How I cut it evenly width wise is what's eluding me.

    Any simple answers there would help enormously.

    Use a combination carpenter's square. Then just cut on the pencil line. Draw a center line and a cross line. Then saw carefully.

    From various vendors, I've seen Naniwa stones in 20mm or 10mm depth, with or without the plastic stands - if you look around you should hopefully be able to find them.

    I bet a band saw with a really fine-toothed belt, taking it slow, would work.

    Now you have two more barber hones, no saving it as a complete 8" stone.

    I've heard of guys putting them in a pre-heated oven around 200F and it will soften the glue.

    make a small jig out of wood, a base with two sides screwed to it. the sides will have cuts made in them that should be exactly opposite each other when fastened to the base. like a little mitre box
