Here is my new Charnley Forest. The stone is incredibly beautiful to the eye, but even better, it gives an amazing edge; comparable to, if not better than my best vtg Thuringian, and that for the price of one third of it..... Only drawback is that it is incredibly slow. This hone has never been exposed to oil, but I am considering to lightly dress it. Would oil make the hone faster and produce even finer edges?
