Thread: Hone of the Day

(Sigh).... so much for working in the industry. My Zulu Grey arrived in Winnipeg yesterday, barcode scanned 3 times, but not delivered. Today it's been scanned and placed on a truck destined for Montreal, ultimately back to South Africa?!?!!....<sob>

I pulled out all the stops and did everything I could, hopefully the barcode will be trapped when it arrives in Montreal and then have a human turn it around. No idea why this happened, could be the label came off on the belts somewhere or perhaps the sorting machine just misread the label and sent it back. The joys of mechanization.

Got some good pics on the USB before I started fixing this Ralf Aust up
You can see the Faucet ding and the beginning of a heel hook





The ding was taken out on a Chosera 1k and the hook was removed on a DMT 325..



Working a bit more got the bevel even again and moved on through the Chosera line to a final finish on the BG Escher..

That is a Standard Staple in the pics for scale


Hone on !!

Have six for the hones this Sunday, two TI's 1 Dovo and a nice Solingen plus two old Sheffields, looking at them there's 4 that will probably be OK the two old Sheffields look like they will give me a bit of trouble.

Here is a Boker Tree Brand being honed. Bevel set no tape.

Move to natural progression on Canadian oil stone, faster and gentler than Norton 4K

Most German steel performs well on coticules and the Boker is no exception.

Final finish on RezDog’s Canadian oil stone from Haida gwaii. Oil can be used on this hard stone.

Touched up a pair of Nichiri Manaslu M500 Yasuki Silver Steels on a Nakayama kiita. Interesting razors, they appear to be a copy of one of the Heljestrand models. The steel is of course superb and they take wonderful edges.

Cheers, Steve

Sorry to hear that.

Maybe it's on its way to me.
