Thread: Some easier to hone than others?

Now were talking...

If we are only talking "Brand" differences yes I sure do agree there are differences.... I tend to break them down by countries first then sometimes by brand after that....

I know myself and probably several others on here would vote the Dubl Ducks as the easiest most consistent brand on the hones...

Boker rather easy and very silky when done...
Many of the German Hollow grinds fall right here together...

American steel a touch harder then the German but can get scary sharp

Swedish and Japanese very similar on the hones and well behaved

English brands???? It is hard to break these down because you have such variations in grinds and years that they were made...


Fillarmonicas and the Spanish steels a wee bit more finicky on the hones then the Germans but if you get them right can be sooooooo smooth...
