Thread: Cleaning up and honing a new antique store find: A.J. Jordan

Yep, thanks for the tips on some of these cotis. The first time I used it I worked up a nice slurry with the included slurry stone and began honing away. POP! CLICK! SNAP! I looked at the edge under a scope and it looked like I tried sharpening it on a piece of sidewalk outside. It was tearing chunks out of the edge, half the depth of the edge. Worst POS I have ever used on a blade. But your right, on a good day, when all the planets are aligned, they can be used after being burnished, polished, reburnished and then repolished. Honestly though, I don't even use it anymore and will throw it in the garbage someday.
