Mac, you better knock on wood when you say that. IME the virus can easily mutate.

Virus mutation warning noted.

It is hard to believe, that i have only been a member of SRP, since April...certainly seems longer and i've as many as a few years or more, to catch up with some of you guys and gal's collective collections. lol

Thanks,

I have a Surgical Black Arkansas and a Translucent on the way. I got 12x3x1 Sugical Black and a 8x3x1 trans, I spoke to the guy that owns www.hallsproedge.com
Richard Hall who is a very nice guy btw. We talked about honing and hones for about an hour, and while we talked, he hand picked two hones for me. You know me, how could I resist. I learned some stuff, and so did he. I'm excited to play around with both of these hones, not only str8's, but knives as well. Nice and thick, and you can use both sides...

Very nice Zib, Congrats!
I cant wait to see and hear about your experiences with them.

Thanks,

Mac

Did Mr. Hall say anything about lapping? (Just curious.)

I'll call him when the stones arrive and keep you posted....

Yeah, please keep us posted. The idea of a natural stone mined in the US really appeals to me.

It appeals to me to, If they work out and are fun to play with, I will buy some in bulk, and pass the saving on if anyone is interested....

Update:
Well, disappointingly, this pretty stone, is not the finisher i was hoping for...as a matter of fact, it would probably rate grit-wise, between a white hard and a surgical black arkansas. It also, doesnt have as high a density, as the surgical black, which i'm thinking should have given me a clue initially. Live and learn, eh?
Its a pretty stone, so it will stay in my honing progression; just not where i'd hoped.


Thanks,

Mac

yea zipi just orderd a 10 X3 surgical blue black from charles at halls they are verry nice people i cant weight till it gets here i alredy have a 11X3 trans. he said that i will like the blue black beter than the trans. said the edge will be finer if so this will be a sharp sucker.
