Thread: llyn melynllyn

hi.just ordred a welch slate, purple llyn melynllyn to try. anyone have any experience with this stone?

I think it's a pretty good finisher. Leaves a crisp edge. I like the shave off the Black Welsh slate a little bit better, but can be perfectly happy with the LM.

No, the black slate is finer than the LM. Dragon's Tongue is more coarse.

Did you buy Welsh slate hones of decent quality which seller pretends to be YL (LM) and DT or you have real hones from Salmens and Inigo Jones?

he`s called aj_1001 on eBay.he is sourcing the stones himself.aj_1001 | eBay
ordered the stone yesterday so will have it within a week.

Then you have the first option. Good Welsh Slate Hones.

All of the vintage YL hones I have or had all had green spots. Some of the newer ones I see do not seem to have them. Not sure if that means anything or coincidence.

It's been a while but I do recall these leaving a nice edge
