my first hones arrived today. i got two Norton stones. the first one is a 220/1k combo and the second is a 4k/8k combo. i'm really excited :D lets hope i don't ruin my blades.
i tried a quick honing of a blade on the 8k stone, it took a couple of tries but i finally got a bit of a sharp edge. the blade wasn't too dull but it did wear down over the last couple of months.
does anyone have any go recommendations on reading or viewing material besides the wiki?
