That's right Jimmy - both lovely stones. The ruler in the pic bears out the longer=better-for-honiong theory, too! Just one other thing - one person said that the grain on his Charnley had a grain that was almost 3D - that you could "look down" into it, sort of thing.
Regards,
Neil

Yes this all is very interesting. Thank you all for your thoughts!
I'll try and make some time this weekend to engage in a bit of honing.
Neil, what is (are) your source(s) of all this wonderful information? I found some info on the net, but nothing very detailed, mostly just a line or two on Charnley Forests. Not that I doubt what you write - it's just that I would like to read all of it!

Aaaargh! There were quite a few different sources - I wish I had made a note of them! I will post the links to them as I find them again. For now, here are a few to be getting on with: Originally Posted by Oldengaerde

Tiy may have to read down into some of the articles before getting to the reference, which is sometimes quite short. There were others - on woodworking forums and so on - I'll post the links when I find them again.
