Thread: Getting Back In The Game - New Hones

Couple of thoughts:

The Naniwas are everything you've read about them.

IMHO, you would do well to consider something between 1K and 5K. I have a 2K which I love, but I understand the 3K serves as well.

The 12K is a wonderful finisher in its own right. Maybe as good (in my hands) as a Nakayama (I have three).

AFAIK Tony Miller is out of the strop business -- unless he's changed his mind. I agree with the choice, though. I have several hundred items in my shaving collection, and the three I will never part with are my brace of Le Grelot 1/4 grinds and my Tony Miller horsehide. (Ooops -- forgot the MWF).

Double ooops -- forgot the Naniwas.

Final thought -- welcome back!

Edit: Triple Oops -- I just checked his site, and Tony is back in the stop business! What a blessing to all of us.

So, a double welcome back!!!

Hey Dave,

I have nothing to add that hasn't been said already, other than it has indeed been a while. Not sure why you got out of the game, but such is life (c'est la vie, eh?). Welcome back!

Best regards,

Ryan

Thanks.

On the note of getting back in the game, I have this stone on it's way tomorrow to me from Alex! http://www.thejapanblade.com/images/toishi79.jpg

Welcome back Dave. Nice to have ya around again. I was wondering what happened to you and was hoping that you just were busy with life. Now that you're in Toronto you may be able to join us at one of the Rochester meets. I believe CarrieM is looking to have one this fall, before the snow flies.

Thank you. Although I moved, I'm not that far from where I was. Actually, I was about 30 minutes closer to NY before! But I would consider coming, thanks for the invite.
