Thread: Poor newbie's hone set

If you're looking for inexpensive go with film and a glass tile. Works well.
I never bothered with anything above 8k until the natural stone bug bit. 8k then a pasted strop.
Or go with a pressed felt and diamond sprays, is an option. Many ways to skin a cat.
Old pair of jeans makes a decent poor man strop. I'd stiffen it a bit.
No substitute for a proper strop though. It doesn't have to be expensive either. An Illinois or Herold are reasonable.
