Thread: I am in the candy store of hones

I don't care what anyone says, it's simply not possible to have too many hones. Hones are to me what young ladies are to Tiger Woods. I've exercised great restraint for a little while, but every time I see a new hone I don't have...... ooooohhhhhh man, my heart starts beating a little faster and I start feeling like I'm short of breath; gasping for air. Frantic.... must.... must ..... not.... no, MUST have it.

Coticules and Thuringens and Chinese Waterstones and Japanese waterstones, and ceramic hones and shaptons and diamond hones and ruby hones and barber's hones and glass hones and wet hones and dry hones and flattening stones and slurry stones and crystalon hones and....... varieties within each. When your biggest problem is deciding which of your precious hones you're going to take out to play and when storage starts to be a real issue for you, you'll know you've followed me down the path of H.A.D.

And the damnedest thing is that you can really get by with 2 or 3 different hones and do everything you really need to do.
