Thread: In a hurry? Spyder-slurry!

Me included as well, and that works great!!! It's such a shock to get so much feedback from the 12K with slurry.

Last night I was experimenting with 4 hones so I did not devote a great deal of time with the Spyder-slurry, but I need to pull back on my enthusiasm even further. I was sort of shocked to find that, though the slurry stone did temporarily improve cutting action, it did not serve to clear the stone once it loaded. I had to clear the hone with the recommended scouring pad and abrasive cleaner. Also, the steel cutting worked great on a couple of razors, which lead me to my preliminary conclusions, but then I tried to show it off to my wife whose father cut the stone for me. I was touching up a Wade and Butcher Special so I wanted to show her how fast metal appeared on the stone. I did 10 strokes and nothing. I did 10 more strokes and nothing. She was not terribly impressed. Neither was I. Apparently this is another case of some hones liking some razors, and vice versa, more than others.

I'm beginning to suspect that the Spyderco will not become the poor man's Shapton.

My wife doesn't share my enthusiasm for obtaining great edges either...
