Thread: I'm a simple honer

In many ways it is a really good bevel setter since it cuts very shallow stria and leaves a smooth bevel behind
It is VERY thirsty, and on the slower side of the bevel setting curve..

Using a Diamond plate actually, creates more issues than it solves,, There are tricks to using them for Repairs but as a bevel setter I would recommend nearly anything else over it.. Trust me here, if there were a faster way of setting bevels those of us that hone professionally would be using it everyday

Thanks Guys!
Im learning!!

ok, pulled the trigger, ordered a 1k, 5k and 8K shapton Kuromaku's I hope they work well!
