    I dont think ive tried the Charnleys, yet, with a slurry, but what if one used a slurry for a certain number of laps, then ran a number of laps on the charnley w/out slurry?

    What do you guys think?

    Thanks,

    I tried that and it seemed to work just fine for me. As Sham noted the slurry is faster cutting and then refine the edge diluting the slurry and finally getting to plain water. I'm in no hurry.

    If the slurry stone deal come to fruition I am still in. What others do and their posting the results they get is appreciated but I still like to do my own experimenting.

    Thanks Jimmy,
    I think, considering that i go from a 6-8k translucent to the charnley, it probably would be a good idea to transition, with a slurry....i will try a couple blades this weekend.

    I'm using both of mine with oil. No slurry and some pretty good results.

    Hmm, well I am going to have to break down and try it with oil. I know Sham said they work better with oil too. Lynn, when you're finished honing on it with the oil do you just wipe it with a paper towel to get rid of the oil and swarf ?

    I used to do that with Arkansas stones years ago sharpening knives. Any worries about the stone loading up and getting clogged ? Been a long time since I fooled with oil on a stone.
