Thread: Table top hone wear

Will table top hone wear affect honing, aside from decreasing the angle? If I use tape will this negate any bad effects? Will it make i toverly hard for me to learn to hone?

I ask because I want to buy some cheaper razors to practice honing on. Rather than buy zeepks I want some real ones, but real ones are only cheap if they're bad, so chips are out, broken scales are out, that leaves just bad hone wear.

Warping is a lot harder than too much flattening on the spine, or chips. If you buy a bunch of razors some are bound to be good. You just have to beat the rest of the SRP folks to them

What is table top hone wear?

I thought it was going to be scuff marks/damage left by using you hone on your kitchen table...

I hone standing and sitting, depending on the chore at hand.

I'm glad I'm not the only one confused. First time for everything, I suppose!

I think Khaos means dishing or dipping of the stone. But dishing actually increases the edge angle, so I'm also a little confused.
