Totally agree, even Eschers and Arkies (if you are not a traditionalist), however I am not evaluating the stones, I am comparing the edge of the stones on water only, I have done this to see the abrasion speed, grit, etc...of these stones on clear water.

I can use slurry and achieve the best edge I could but as I said I was experimenting and thought of sharing the results.


Evaluating is a different story for me, I will hone different steels and will try almost all my slurry stones and take it up to a very high number of x strokes to tryin to achieve the finest scratches pattern that the stone can give

Cheers,
