Hello all, I would like some feedback. I was reading an ancient article from Google Books that talked about honing with water, with oil, and dry. It mentioned that dry could get you really great smooth edges. So I thought to myself, "I have used water and oil, maybe I should see what dry does..." So I am not using my King Waterstones, they are synthetic and not made for this I am sure.
But I do have aq pair of Arkansas stones and maybe I should try dry honing on my arks. Now on my hard ark I got a really unbelievable bevelset, and I got a really beautiful finish off the Surgical, popping hairs before it even touched them, well, that may be an exaggeration. I also figure since I don't have any water or oil to remove the excess metal that I will have to brush or rinse them well. Does anyone else have some experience with this?
