Thread: Covenant hone

I have been thinking about a Covenant for more than a year but haven't taken the bait yet.

I'll probably pull the trigger one night after the fourth Glenlivet rocks.

50 minutes to lap? Not quite as hard as a charnley. I might have to get one and try it out.

Oh wow! it looks too pretty to be a hone.

Where can I buy one of those? I like it!

Yes, they do look cool, and certainly buying a stone from those eastern countries is making it kind of exotic, but for their prices, I'm not even thinking about buying one.

When Tsil (the owner of TCblades) posted his video review of the stones the highest one was rated at most 8k I wonder what a head to head comparison to Escher or a quality Jnat is?

Interesting concept. I would feel completely comfortable thinking my covenant is around 9k. My surprise was that my work with the covenant ended with a more polished edge than I have achieved with my Japanese natural stones from Alex. It is pretty much all subjective I feel, different hands I believe will produce different
results even with stones being equal. Ultimately I think this stone would be the equal of many of the stones
razor honing afficionado's look to because they have proven to be ranked very highly. A highly polished edge, absent any stiations, does not necessarily correlate to a better shave but that was my goal in getting to know
this particular stone.
