Thread: Rozsutec anyone?

Yes, and a few of those are relatively local to you.
Enjoy your Roszutec, I have one but haven't used it much yet. I've been playing with a Dalmore Blue and a Quartzite hone.

I’ve been using a Vermio for as a finisher and have also a small Oozuko, but the Vermio is the stone I have been relying on the most, usually after a synthetic 8K or a coticule. I’d be interested in your experience with the Roszutec.

My experience has been mostly surface prep so far, it comes nice and flat but is a hard stone.

I have a Roszutec scythe stone. I only use it for prepping the blade for heavy brush cutting. I have a few other scythe hones that are more fine. I would estimate as a razor hone that it would be on the more coarse end of the finishing spectrum.

I don’t have a microscope so the analysis will be in the shave that the stone produces. That said, there will still be the enjoyment of experimenting....

I have a few of them.
There is an idea that's "a 6k stone" but all I have tried are finishers. The edge either on water or Smith's solution are finisher-fine and the shave feels kind of like that from a translucent Arkansas, not the smoothest there is, still, not harsh. Hard but not "the hardest stone that ever existed" as again, I have read, and because of its hardness you can use it with slurry stones from different type of stones, and enjoy a slightly different edge, like a hybrid with characteristics of both the rozsutec and the ones of the slurry stone. Also, I'm not sure if it's me but the degree of polish of its surface might play a role on the edge you get, you can make the honing surface glass smooth if you want to, and it stays this way if used without slurry.
It's an interesting stone.

I’ve just been googling Eidsborg, the idea of honing a razor with a stone used by Vikings is childishly cool!
