Thread: Checking stone for flatness?

If you lapped off a pencil grid using a DMT diamond plate, Atoma diamond plate or even just a piece of glass and some loose grit or wet/dry paper, you've already gone waaaay further than most did back when straight razors were the norm.

There is zero need to go any further, and besides, a straight edge is NOT the correct tool for the job.

Once pencil grid lapped... the act of cleaning the hones is generally sufficient to keep the hone in good condition. GSsixgun shows what he does in a series of videos he has on youtube.com, as does Lynn Abrams. Both of these gents hone for money and you can take their advice to the bank.
