Barely any hone removed but put a nice shine on the file and no slurry! At this point, I took the edge of the file and rubbed it on the side of the hone, and it removed a nice amount of metal, then with the other edge of the file, I rubbed it back and forth on the side of a coticule and found it didn't seem to remove the metal quite as fast, not certain though! I compared the shine and the scratch pattern through a 5x loup and it looks very similar! I guess the next step is to actually hone a razor to see where this might fit!
