RE: Stones in Italy
Since watching the Snake razor video [and other videos] by Mastro Livi, I have always wondered what kind of hones he uses. Could there be other super stones out there to which most of us are not privy?
Does anyone have any info regarding the particular stones he uses?

I think it's more the years of experience than the stones. Someone with years of experience could probably pick up a rock off the road, lap it and sharpen off of it to an acceptable edge.

It's like a Geico commercial. Honing, so simple, even a caveman could do it.
