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.

Sorry but that is what you started, and I will bring the attention to it every single time

again Prove It

Have you ever even used a Convex Hone or are you just stirring the pot for attention

Show us your edges

Too easy,,

I figured as much, you needed attention ??? well you got it now..

You haven't ever used one, have you, just another clueless follower, quoting other peoples work and threads on other forums.

Oh my God! I can't believe you guys are still talking about this s***.

It feels like I ate mushrooms and watched who's on first on loop

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.

That's right but there is a.reason. to sell the convexed stones and lapping plates. Nothing more. Many people heard about this already. It's just rehashed in a different way because the bullsrush method of "your stupid and I know everything" only succeeded in getting him thrown and laughed out of most forums.
