Thread: Honing film

Great thread. I'd previously posted a request on where to find a narrow bevel setter for some of my warped antique store finds - as an alternative to the rolling strokes used on 3" wide hones.

Seems like I could just use 1k and then 3k sandpaper / film sitting on top of any of my 2" barber hones. Worth a try.

Thanks . . .

It seems to me with as few people actually flatten their hones and with the low cost/great availability of glass. This is ideal for many people. I personally own close to a dozen stones, but I prefer the film. I personally use granite scraps from my last job as a cabinet maker, the counter top department always had sink cut outs that they threw away.
