Gotta do more testing when I get a chance obviously as 1 honing doesnt show its potential, only used water without slurry as well, going to prep a matching slurry stone tonight as well.



Modine...if you read this, ill probably send this stone out to you with the other one for testing and feedback as well, your reviews are always so good and I'd love your input.
