Thread: My first honing attempts with photos

Ask for help there in Norway and suck up the pride, honing is easy , till it ain't to quote a great one,, all you should have needed was a refresh , 6-10 laps to start ,, very light laps if your hone is a finisher,, I don't know if your stone can go back as a one stone hone without a few hundred laps, but really there are a couple guys in Norway.

That's what I thought too, all it needs is a refresh. Well, too late for that now. I understood that all natural stones can be used for one stone hone, heavier slurry equals lower "grit" number. Right now, I want to put in the hours to learn honing, not give up after only four attempts.
