Thread: Chinese Hone

I have Escher and two PHIG. I use Escher for touch ups. I have very uncomfortable Escher, it is thin ( around 30 mm) and very awkward on my palm. Once I cut my finger because of it's thinness. It is better than Chinese, but more and more often I turn to PHIG. It is more comfortable to work with : good size 6' x 2' x 1', good cutting. Working extra 5 minutes does not frighten me. Very good understanding, that you can make the same work with a stone, that is several times cheaper than Escher. Second PHIG I don't use at all, it is not good.
