Thread: Broken Naniwa 12k

Let some thin CA wick into the crack, that should stabilize the hone, then just lap lightly with a few figure 8's before use and it should be fine...
If it were a different hone then a Naniwa SS I would say don't even bother with the CA but the SS tend to swell when you add water...


ps: There is a thread on here from way back about popping them loose and cutting them lengthwise... Many of us fell for the thoughts back then of how it was easier to hone problem blades on thinner hones..
Honest, it isn't, the stroke you do on a 1.5 inch hone is the exact same as you do on a 3 inch hone to correct for problem razors, they both use the exact same Honing Gymnastics..

Just take your 3 inch hone and draw a pencil line down the middle and figure out the stroke needed to keep the edge on one side of the line, same same, once you realize that then you will quickly realize that you no longer need the line or a thinner hone to get the whole edge..
