I like natural hones. It's just a preference, and I'm comfortable with that.

All the natural hones I read about fall into a few different categories, broadly, 1) Finishers (i.e Eschers, Charnley Forests, Jnats etc..) 2) polishers (Cotis), and 3) Sharpeners (BBW, TOS, DT, various Scotch hones). The only bevelsetting hones I read about are Coticules with slurry.

Am I missing something? Are the various Dalmores used for setting bevels? There must be a Jnat, but that's all, well, entirely too mysterious for me to understand yet.

I'm not about to go pick up a new hone. I seem to have developed HAD, and need another stone like a hole in the head. I'm just curious.
