Thread: Hone of the Day

Three from the bench today.

1. Plum, in Ivory.

2. Wostenholm, French point.

3. A NOS, Friedrich Herder.



Bevels set on the green brick, progressed on a Washita with oil, from heavy slurry to water on the Coti, then water on the BBW, and finished with water on the BG Escher.

This seems like a complicated progression. At first glance I think that you could delete the Washita and the BBW

There is a sign in my friends very crowded shop
“If you can’t find what you are looking for, try looking for something else.”

The God's honest truth, Rez!

To think that hone of the day has come to this!

This is a very complicated case, Maude. You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's. And, uh, lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head. Luckily I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind, you know, limber.

Oh, and nice marmot!

Its just a means to an end, Tim. A progression of my choosing. Typically I'd use a Thurigan, over the Coti.

After the Chosera, the Washita really dials in the bevel, creeps up on it slowly. The rest are just polishing.

I'll say this, the BBW is a under rated hone. IMO better than the Coti, side. Just like Coties, all BBW's aren't the same, either. But I enjoy honing, and the feel of a natural edge.

As a guy, who after 4 years is still happy when he finally gets a shaveable edge (most of the time) off his Naniwas, this whole thread fascinates me. Luckily for my wallet and marriage, I am being forced mostly toward DE, thus away from the likelihood of HAD.
