    Here's what I 'Primarily' use when I hone but of course not in the order of usage

    Left to Right;

    Norton 4/8
    Coticule/Blue
    Naniwa 1K
    That's a Zulu Grey on the bottom

    I basically use the Nani then the Norton and the Zulu on most razors however I like the edge that the Coti gives to Sheffield blades. I do have a 'Echter Thuri' that gives a nice edge to Sheffield Blades.

    Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdins cave of 'stuff'.

    You have to train them, Jerry!

    You whisper to them...'You know you want some Escher, now don't you?'

    In the teeneyest voice you can hear.....'yesh'

    Gasman sorry to hear you have been under the weather. Could be caused by lack of space for all your rocks. I have a little extra space if you would like to store some in Loveland.
    A healthy skepticism of both old and new ideas is essential to learning.
