Thread: Washita..

So a good member of SRP by the name of Badgister sold me this bad boy and it arrived today.I ran it on a DMT to flatten it out and clean it up.

I want this to be a multi use stone, Sharpening razors, knives, chisels etc.

I don't plan on using it as a one stone hone.. Not practical and I'm not sure how it would work. I will try it though one day, stranger things have happened. Other then that there is some translucency to it when using a flashlight so that's always promising maybe it will be a finer stone?


So a few key questions here and maybe DaveW will jump in and save the day. Are these stones hard or will they be required to be flattened constantly? Should I break them in the same way I would a trans or surgical ark?

What are some tips and tricks for those of you who use the stone? It can be razor, knife, scissor related. I'm just looking for a little history of a Washita.
Not to toot my own horn but I think it's a beautiful stone.

Thank you Badgister, it's appreciated my friend.



Crappy cellphone pics. Apologies. ( that black mark in the top right corner is marker left over no sense lapping that away if the rest of the stone is flat anyways and it won't impede my stroke.)
