Thread: Amazon Bluesun hones test

So i picked up from Amazon the cheap Bluesun hones, the 600/2000 and the 3000/8000. Im sure most are feeling they are junk. I have my doubts too. They seemed to have good reviews. I bought these for my woodworking blades but decided to try them on razors first for the hell of it. I'm not really in need of hones but don't want to use my more expensive hones on my tools. On first inspection they seem decent. I did try a razor on them but i believe i shouldn't have tried the 600. I did shave off the 8k. I tried first without stropping and it was not great. So i did 50 laps on my strop. Big difference. It was smoother and i did 2 passes. With the end results very nice. Now i didnt hone the way i usually do with circles and x passes. I only did x strokes. So i will re-hone the razor from a chosera 1k up to the 8k, i wont touch the 600. That was just a bad idea.

If anyone has anything i should try during the test please let me know
