Thread: New hone question

Lynn drops a grenade in the imagination - very cool.

Nun2sharp mentioned using an escher slurry stone. I imagine a coti slurry would work also. Any other candidates for a slurry stone? I would think it needs to be of the donor variety of slurry stone, rather than one intended to raise slurry only by abrading the main stone.

I've used a ruby stone (synth ruby) to raise slurry on the c12k, but that just abrades the c12k.

'Sounds like several have posted about the hone as a platform for other abrasion media. Spyderco with diamond spray, c12k w/ slurry from other rocks, etc. So not every experiment will yield nuggets, but it's very cool to press for the discoveries.

Onimaru, is there a grit range for the synthetic nagura you would recommend?
