Thanked: 12 UPDATED with photos
So here are some photos.
these are the dry stones - bout and rectangular
this is the wet bout
left side of the rectangular stone - wet
right side of the rectangular stone -wet
the right side - with the green swirly bits - seems rougher.Hirlau and Blistersteel like this.

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

That vein is supposed to have a bit of that odd feel going on afaik. I have a tan coti with orange in it that feels like I am honing on a wet cinder block and it does no harm. it's smoothing out a bit with use but it seems to have mostly plateaued. so long as you aren't getting very deep stray scratches or edge chipping I would think nothing of it.

Aha, I have the same feel on my coti and it looks a lot like your rectangular one, must be the same vein
Interesting

Was just thinking that's what you might be feeling is all. It's your feeling though :<0) Originally Posted by bman40
