Thread: Lapping Dragon's Tongue for kitchen use

Thanks for pics. beautifull stones. Is it just my monitor or that stone colour is grey with hint of dark olive green? If the colour is right I would say that the grit of your hone could be around 8000. Possibly more rather than less. When you lapped it was it softer comparing to CF/ C12k?

Just to refresh that DTs are not from single quarry. and location of Yellow Lake hone is very near by. For some in US better known under brand Salmens Oilstone.

I don't know about the color, as I don't have it anymore. I thought it was a deep blue/grey. As I said, it shaved like a 6-8k. It lapped easier than the C12k, and was maybe slightly softer, but not by much.

Hmm. I was wrong with colour on yours. Generally darker DT finer grit and somehow harder to lap.

Or perhaps we have different ideas about what's what.

That could be also true.
