Thread: The Perfect Edge

I've been getting a lot of requests recently for nagura-style stones for Belgian coticules. I'm happy to sell you a small stone for that purpose but it's really not necessary. Most folks tell me they get a slurry after about 4 swipes with a straight razor in the x-pattern. If you don't get a slurry with the str8, try a few swipes with your kitchen paring knife. It won't hurt the stone for shaving and it WILL get a slurry going. After honing, I just let the stone dry and next time give it a shpritz with a squeeze bottle of water I keep on the honing bench.

<<< shpritz >>> (g)

It was so hot in my basement the other day I used my own shvitz to schpritz down the schmutz left on the stone from the last honing <g>

I made a noodle kugel the other night, and you're making me want to dig into it. I'm also craving brisket all of a sudden.

uofi1963,

No, I just grew up and spent most of my years in a large Jewish community. I thought that was English till I moved a little further away <g>. I still work a mile or so from there and get my best lunches in the real delis there.
