Even if it doesn't work well for honing razors, you could use it as Japanese folk sculpture - THAT IS A FREAKING AWESOME LOOKING KARASU! Such pretty figure combined with such a dramatic, rugged shape and thickness. Almost like a rugged yet delicate bonsai, made of stone.

Thank you for sharing the pics. I hope it is a fantastic hone. Try it first without slurry, to get the feel. You may be very surprised with the speed and fineness, with water only.
