Yeah I was just using the SIC on a piece of ceramic tile now. That seems to be more effective but it's still very slow going. I was thinking about the diamond hone but I was afraid I would ruin it. As smooth as this gets it may not be good for a hone but my curiosity got the better of me.
Hey, at least I didn't pull a piece of rock fascia off the side of a building or use one of the tiles out of my wife's slate coffee table like I've considered doing in the past.Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend. PR 27:17

Well, I decided to give it a go with the diamond hone and then back to the SIC and I got this one flat.
But wait a minute....I still can't hone anything with it with no right hand...DAMN! Guess I didn't think that through very thoroughly.Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend. PR 27:17

So a few nights ago I had this dream.....I was sitting at the kitchen counter honing razors on the quartz countertops and then the missus comes along a lops me across the side of my head with a cast iron pancake griddle and while I'm in the floor I think gee the ceramic floor tiles would make a great hone and the missus doesn't like that either and then I spy the dog's ceramic food dish and I think that would make a great hone. She doesn't like that idea and grabs her dish and runs off with it and then I think the stucco on the side of the house would make a great hone.
It's a good thing I woke up then. No telling where that was going to go.

Thanked: 59If they are really that hard, then it makes me wonder if they would work like a Spyderco hone? Where the "grit" is ground into the surface texture of the stone/ceramic.

Yeah maybe but the issue is it's my right hand that's out of commission and I'm right handed. I actually tried it a little now that my forefinger are "bird" finger are out but I just still don't have the fine dexterity. I tried stropping with my left hand but I put one little knick in it and quit while I was ahead.

Thanked: 56Sometimes I hone off handed so the swarf is coming at me and I can see it without looking over the razor. But I have never even though about trying to strop off handed. It'd be like going back in time when I had to pause at the end of each push/pull and think how to rotate the razor.
After I was in a cast I came out of it being way more ambidextrous than before. But, I had to do pretty much everything left handed. And by the end of it, even things I could have possibly done with my right hand were just easier left handed.If you're wondering I'm probably being sarcastic.
