I nominate the J.G. Escher yellow/green, and all of the family of Escher colors .....

Big Green Shrimp (aka Chosera 1k)!
I nominate the "Hone Of All Hones!!" The wonderful, mystery hone of the Orient!!

A really good specimen of Surgical Black Arkansas stone that isn't too hard and glassy.
I have a 4x2x1 that is "IT", and a 6x2x1 and 4x3x1 that are nice, but not quite the same.
I'd love to hand-pick me an 8x2x1 Black Arkansas in person.
Coticule & BBW would have to make the list.
I suggest we exclude all Jnats as there already is a Jnat Club thread. :p
Only logical, since a Jnat can't hold up with that beautiful Cnat. :D

Going for the lowly Norton 4/8 to get them to fine finishers. The absolute bomb!
Naniwa SS 12K
more interesting to me are what hones wouldn't get into the hall of fame.
Zulu Grey! I think for sharp, smoothness, availability and price the Zulu takes my cake!

I second this motion! Can't have a good edge without a good bevel! Chosera for speed and smoothness on the bevel!Quote:
