Thread: Hone Format for Knives Scaled to Razors

I don't mean to offend either but what you are describing simply makes no sense so you are either describing it very oddly or you believe something that simply isn't true

As the adjective, ideal, seems to be a sticking point, perhaps I should seek to define what I mean by it. To cite from a dictionary within grasp's reach, by ideal I do not mean, "[r]egarded as perfect or supremely excellent", which is how I suppose you are taking it; rather, I mean, "pertaining to, or of the nature of an idea or conception." So please, reread my earlier remarks involving the use of the adjective "ideal" according to the second definition to see if that makes any more sense.
