Thread: I Found It Over There

For me it is the one time good luck piece of stone I'm looking for, getting vollume would be interrested if you try to set up a business, and if you find something like that there is not that much market for fine finishing hones (beside us nutjobs here using a straight razor). but it would be realy cool to shave with a blade sharpened on a piece of rock you found yourself somewhere in nature.

Dennis, that hone looks realy nice! when you start selling them I'd like a PM so I can get in line

I just hot a bunch of rock from my usual place. About a third of it was full of tiny little factor lines. It is not good for hones. It will make some decent garden rock. There is a lot of grading that takes place as well. Not every slab that gets cut gets to be a hone. Between crack and inclusions it brings the numbers down pretty fast.

Amen, and it sadly takes tons of work before you can tell if its good for hones even...then nearly finished before all the micro fractures show themselves
