    Hi there,

    I've had a La Verte that felt the same way during honing, somehow gravelly , but the edges and shaves off the stone were fine .

    But in the end I traded it away and as I never got used to the feeling...

    During our meeting in Adennnes last autumn I had few hones which were behaving in simmilar manner as you describe from new. however after I relapped them on Maurizio's DMT and used them on knife steel is smoothened most of it out.

    Default UPDATED with photos

    So here are some photos.

    these are the dry stones - bout and rectangular

    Name: 1.jpg Views: 454 Size: 38.5 KB

    this is the wet bout

    Name: bout.jpg Views: 461 Size: 39.7 KB

    left side of the rectangular stone - wet

    Name: left.jpg Views: 461 Size: 40.8 KB

    right side of the rectangular stone -wet

    Name: right.jpg Views: 453 Size: 41.7 KB

    the right side - with the green swirly bits - seems rougher.

    Have you tried honing on the bout? How does that feel?

    Was just thinking that's what you might be feeling is all. It's your feeling though :<0)

    That is almost definitely a Les Petas. Many have that swirly pattern.
