    So the science falls apart in reality

    I don't know or care who the Gentleman is

    This has truly become the "Epitome of Stupidity"

    There is one person pushing this for money, I wouldn't care other then that little dweeb involved me after I proved his "Hypothesis" to be flawed, and he started tagging me for Hits on YouTube..

    I don't care who posts about it... I am going to continue to say the same thing

    Prove It !!!


    I have yet to even a Micro-graph even attempting to convince anyone of Concavity of the edge
    Again this thread is just documenting evidence of the fact that this way of honing was something actually done in history. I really don't care if the edge is concave or not tbh. First source actually claimed it was to reduce honing time. What Dovo does or does not do has no impact of these texts which are over 100 years old. Jarrod has many flaw I'm sure but I doubt money grabbing is one since many a time I've asked him about this topic he basically tells me to go get a lobster pot and make a convex hone myself. He doesn't sell many stones anymore either. More likely a dog with a bone mentality than anything else. Maybe I'm naive.

    You have simply revived Controversy much like Tape vs No Tape and GD razors

    The same circular BS

    Show us the edges you have honed on your Convex hones, lets see them, hopefully they don't have huge scratch's all up above the bevel like Jarrod's showed.."
    Your first foray into this I gave you the benefit of the doubt as being naïve, however now it seems you just like to stir the pot..

    Again, this thread is simply addresses whether people in the past used convex hones. It is not here to address the technical claims of honing in said fashion. No one is pushing the issue of technical claims but you.

    Thinning the shoulder of the bevel is easily done by honing with a little more torque than normal on a flat stone. You simply don't need a convex hone

    I mean, I get that there can be value in lost arts. Hell, look at us shaving with straight razors for example. I also understand the point about how they did actually do it and someone isn't just making it up.
    You know what else they used to actually do? Crap in a hole in the ground, carry water from the river, blood let, burn witches, believe the world is flat...just a few examples. Sometimes we don't still.do things for a reason.

    If anyone wants 27 pages of convex hones and whether barbers used them for wedges, fill yer boots.

    Some great off topic banter too.
