A few generations of pristine C Mons today, a 6/8 Ellicotteville Blackie and a 5/8 PJM German Special.
1k Naniwa to a gentle pyramid of 4/8 Norton. A bit of Naniwa 12k will bring them to the blue-green Escher.

sort of miss my old norton 4k/8k
Boy that Smiths gives a good feel with less mess? WD on a hone has always been messy for me.
But then I am lazy! :)
I pulled out my Mappin and Webb 7-day set that I had honed over a year ago before I knew much about honing, and checked them. Found a few chips and shiny spots on the edge. Had to go back to the 1K on a couple and touch up on most. Now they are Really ready for a trip! If I ever take another trip. Ha.

A couple have cracks at the pins in the Ivory scales but they will stay that way until I learn a lot more.
Neat set, Gasman. I have one I have done nothing with...Brookes and Crookes!
Good honing challenge coming up.
Just what I need! :banghead:
Thanks, Jerry! :)
You know you will enjoy the time with them Tom. I have to admit that after I got 5 done I had to take a long break. Too much at one time can be hard.
