Thread: Hone of the Day

A gloomy day of freezing drizzle hear in Ohio. Finished pinning a restore this morning and realized I had a stack of full gaumet honing to do. Figure this to be a good day to get caught up, before I start on the next restore.
All will be honed on a progression of Nani's 1000-12000 and finished on a Thuri.
A few will have to start on the 800 Nani since they were chipped or had frowns and had to be reshaped.
I like to use the 800 to rough in the edge, then set the bevel with the Chosera.
(Saves me time, and wear on my hands. Neck injury left me with a numb index finger on my dominate hand).
Here's what we got to hone.
Left-Right:
Buck Bros. 5/8
Wester Bros., De-Fi 5/8
F. Koeller & Co., Staysharp 5/8
Shumates, Peacemaker 5/8
Krusius Bro., Demon 5/8
Marples, Sheffield 6/8

Outback and Prodigy,

I'm envious, most of my stuff is honed up and I have a couple waiting to try out an 8k Shapton Glass High Carbon due to arrive tomorrow. It's wet and slushy here in Knoxville, and friends report bad roads outside the city, and the city is usually 5-7 degrees warmer due to the surrounding ridges.

But I did hone up a Dovo Bergischer Lowe, the old heavy grind shorty, and have a couple of Gold Dollar test razors up to test some Mikawa naguras. Both razors are equally ugly, and honed to the same even HHT on a Shapton Pro 5k and ready for testing the Mikawa nagura.

Cheers, Steve
