Thread: Dalmore blue???

Hey Simon! While you're here tell us about that wee discovery, ay?

I've made a wee discovery of my own, which is that the charcoal gray "Water of Ayr" stone is a superb finisher as long as you've got the patience to do 100+ strokes.

where would i find one of these finishing stones the water of ayr

Not in production so look on ebay. But don't pay out the nose for it – it's a cool stone but it doesn't do anything you couldn't do just as well with a coticule or escher-type stone.

If anyone knows of either the Dalmore Blue or Water of Ayr I am interested in both.

Coully, I am also interested in whateverthat little bit of info you had was....

well water of ayr hones were produced...a long long time ago by the same company...i recieved with my last order 4...8 inch dalmore blues...as regards setting a bevel it may but a 1000 norton would be faster as i have tried it.

Someone has already said that e-bay is the only place you will finf a water of ayr hone so that is true....and as a finishing stone yes i guess it would work but again slowly...

If you have a TOS you will know how it works and appreciate its operation in the grand scheme of things.....i still havent heard from my supplier even after repeated calls...dont think he has snuffed it though but one can never be too sure,,,,keep your fingers crossed and maybe an invoice will come..im still hopeful as he is a one man outfit....

regards,simon
