Thread: Hones.... finding one not easy in OZ!

Thanks - I'll give it a go with some of the Dovo [tiny tube of] paste I bought today.
Login name is a bit strange - I'll sort it out.
My name is Kurt, please to meet you all.

Welcome Kurt,

Randy Tuttle offers excellent advice, something I had not thought of! I defer to his experience as I am, in my humble, yet accurate opinion, still a newbie to all of this. None the less, it's a journey, and a journey full of learning experiences!

Kurt,
I slightly un-orthodox but effective way to fix the knot is to soak it with dressing over night then very carefully tap it with a very smooth hammer, maybe the back of a ball pein type. It will leave a small dimple, much like setting a nail head in drywall but a dimple will not catch on the razor like a bump will.

I deal with Tilly often and she has some wonderful stuff. If you were going to get a paddle from me at some point I can gladly combine Tilly's hones with the shipment to save a little on postage.

Thanks Randy, RT and Tony. I am going to try the pumice stone to fix my strop. Tony, thanks for the offer - I have placed and order with Tilly for the beginners pack, however will have to hold on the paddle for a little while.

Again - thanks for your tips chaps.

My internet has been down, hence late reply...
