Maybe, just maybe, there is another solution.

Click on the Chosera stone for the information about how these stones are supposed to be used...i.e. without water.

I've read the same on the official German Naniwa hones internet site.

Makes the stuff I read on the knife forums sound as if they were using the hones incorrectly. Or not as recommeneded by the supplier.

Do you mean the Chosera? Don't feed my HAD any worse than it already is?!!

Did you read it? Yes it's the Chosera.

I telephoned the owner, who is a really nice guy. He uses the stones and says they are amazing. He said they even give a really good feedback and let you know when the blade is honed. He says the stone is so smooth you can feel that sucking/Vacuum feeling when the honing as at the optimum. I put it to him that surely the filings would clog or upset the honing. He said that this just isn't a problem. He said you hone and dust off with a cloth.

I'm really tempted, but they are not cheap for the amount of use I would give the hone.

He said that the hone is not better than a natural hone, just different. He said that it doesn't have the grit range that you can get out of a natural hone. I think you may need to buy two or three or even all of the hones to get a perfect edge. Too expensive for my blood, but he did say they do a really good job. He didn't imply that they give the ultimate edge but they are good and match the 10,000 grit competition very well and when you consider you don't need water, I'm sure we will be hearing a lot more about these things.
