Honing dry or honing to dry???
I'm hoping that you guys could answer a curiosity that I have after watching a few videos and reading a few threads. I have noticed on some of the threads that some hones are to be used dry and on a few videos I have noticed some starting honing on water but then finish honing after the stone is dry. I have never seen this done before and am wondering what it does for the edge. I have always thought that using a lubrication helps to keep the stone particles from digging into the steel, But am I wrong in this since I have been seeing some people finish dry?can anyone give me an answer on what is going on?
