Thread: Hone clubs?

In reading back through many (many) posts in this section, questions pertaining to a certain hone seem to recur again and again. Eschers/Thuringians, coticles/BBW, Japanese water stones, DMT diasharp plates, Shapton, Barber hones, and the Naniwa supers off the top of my head.

It could serve to get all the knowlege about each stone/hone (best use, techniques, est grit) all in one place. That way, when someone disagrees about the best use for a stone (ex: Dragon's Tooth) they can know that it is different than what was said previously they can discuss why they differ because it is right there in the Dragon tooth's club thread.

Just a suggestion.

Being a hone freak I'm not adverse to a hone club for each of the leading marques. Until that is instituted doing a search for a specific hone in the basic and advanced honing forums should yield the info anyone might be seeking.

If there can be razor clubs, why can't there be hone clubs? I say bring 'em on!

I thought of this when I did a search on the thuringians, Eschers, Mueller Thuringians, celebrated water hones. NOS Thuringians, Vintage Thuringians, Mueller Water Hones, MST Thuringians....

I don't think I have it straight yet (not even close).

Sounds like a great idea! My spring cleaning is
going to exclude me from some of these clubs
unfortunately...

I'm up for it. I have 1 or two from most of those groups.

I was reading through the "Coticule Chronicles" and that thread is essentially what I had in mind for a "Hone club". In fact, if this goes forward, it should probably be the first club in that forum.
