Thread: Hone-stone from South Africa!

I'm interested in what these stones are all about. (subscribed)

Thanks guys for the interest. And also for the offers to test it out, definitely would love another member give it a try so as to really establish how good/where in the lineup it should go, I'm really not sure grit-wise where it sits, but from my eye and feel it seems to perform much like my coticules but somewhat slightly under my thuringian. So I'll wait for some more guys to perhaps speak up and then maybe if as a group you guys can elect the most suitable hone-guy (technically equipped etc..) to test it out for us all... I'll then send it to that one person and we can await the results so to speak..
Jimmy I trust your opinion but I'm not sure if you think hi_bud_gl is perhaps more technically proficient with stones/has more gear to test etc..? But so just let me know.
Also here's a pic of the blade I've been honing with this stone, it's really hard to photograph and I don't have a macro lens or microscope to properly picture it for you guys, but basically this blade was dull steel with no real cutting ability, and now you can see the bright fine bevel and spine and of course it's cutting arm hair with the blade lifted off from my arm and just running through the loose hair...

Sigh...another beautiful hone...and i dont have it. :-(
LOL...congrats man, looks like your labors may have paid off.

Many thanks,

Mac
