Thread: slurry honing

Yes, I certainly agree with you that the density of the slurry is correlated to the maximum keenness you can get off the hone.
I have also noticed that the honing speed diminishes, as the slurry becomes thiner. Because of that, I usually dilute it gradually, in the hope that I hit the desired keenness before my slurry becomes so thin that it turns the Coticule into a mere polisher.
I believe you know your particular Coticule well enough to know what the ideal density is for your hone and purpose. I find that an awesome achievement.

Great stuff,
Bart.
