    A canadian brick is one bought in the states where the taxes are lower, and then worn across the border.

    What is a Canadian brick?
    Scipio, I think strudel is trying to make a joke, a bad joke, but joke none the less. I believe he is referring to an ordinary brick used in house building. No one in their right mind would actually think a house brick from any country would be good for honing...As you say though, strudel has a low post count and it may be the case that he does indeed use a brick...

    I've just noticed he is now a banned user.

    Last week ordered a couple of Revisors from Thomas Kronenberg. He said they would be sent out Monday (last) but wanted to give them a last honing on the Coticules before shipping. He also sent a picture of the honers. Apparently, they use Coticule there at Revisor as their "go to" stone for finishing. Natural stone, used by professionals.

    I thought perhaps a Canadian Brick was a variety of artificial hone which I hadn't yet heard of...

    And with regards to Revisor finishing on coticules, I did not know this but can well believe it, for there are many different coticules out there...some are excellent finishers, some less than satisfactory (IMHO); furthermore, much of the finish concerns the honer himself and not the hone..

    Wow! Nine pages of disputes, amotions and temper. And all this around a small bluish or greyish Chinese stone. There is something in this cheap thing, that generates these strong feelings...
