    Default Is it any Spanish hones?

    It seems like many country has produced natural hones but how is with PSian I will go out for hone hunting tomorrow so it would be interesting too look for something else then the good old filharmonica.

    Regards

    Send a PM to member A_S. If anyone would know it would be Alex. Here is an archived thread where he catalogs hones by areas of origin. Spain is not among them but he may know of an example.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    No idea about them, but have been tempted to give a shot but too much new stuff at the moment.

    Those stones are made for knives, the quality is low, the person who made the stones is a marble artisan, he makes the sharpening products as a hobby, not a reliable product as King or Norton, I guess...I have not tried them because an spanish specialist in hones didn't advice them, but as always YMMV.

    The best sharpening related stores in Spain sells Arkansas, Naniwa, King, Shapton, DMT, Eze-Lap, Spyderco, Ardennes coticule, J-Nats...but not "A Pedra das Meigas" hones.

    Thanks for the info. But has Spain ever produced any water hones for razors or barberhones?
