Thread: Hone of the Day

Steel, you are indeed a very lucky man.

It took me years to find my Hohenzollern stone.
Many say that they are more desirable than an Escher.
I know they are a lot rarer and harder to find.

I remember at some point when I was a kid talking about the Hohenzollern Castle in school.
I never forgot that word, and when I found out about the stones, I had to have one. Much easier said than done.

You are spot on about honing with the stone. It is in a class by itself and dare I say that I would put it a crack above my Escher.

Your acorn is made of gold...

Enjoy your newfound treasure.

Those are very bold statements Pete. You can certainly tell you love these stones and I can see why. They are much harder to find and I am itching to try another thuringian and eventually some Eschers.

Great-Another stone I have to have!

Sweet rocks. Men.

Hadn't posted here in awhile, so.... I finished a restore on a Frederick Reynolds yesterday, and put it to the stones this evening. The bevel is tiny, and was set quickly on the green brick, needing no more than 40-50 passes.

Then a thorough working on the Washita, with only water.
Then a slurried, fast cutting Thurigan diluted to water, finishing on a B/G Escher, BD. water only.



Shave test....Wednesday.!!

Mike, If that's the FR rattler you got from the lot you
...ahem, stole its cleaned up very nice indeed. You could easily make your money back with just that one...

Yep, its the one from the lot. !
Pretty nice for $10, eh.!

A Jernbolaget razor touched up on wild natural coticule combo.Someone said they could see Frank Zappa smoking a bong in the stones surface.
