Thread: To Each, His Hone

I thought it might be fun to start a thread where people can say what their favorite hones are and why. The title is a kind reminder that this is a matter of personal preferences, so no one can be wrong.

Naniwas - I love them because they feel smooth/soft, give a nice suction/feedback, leave the edge with shallow scratches, and yet remove metal very quickly. they are also very consistent.

Asagi - My Asagi is smooth as can be, and the level of feedback makes it very easy for me to tell if my razor is keen or not.

Step right up, share your thoughts!
