Thread: Terrific honing fluid

This stuff not only helps give some wicked edges, but in certain situations helps take the edge off. Doesn't even cost an arm and a leg.



Buffalo Trace bourbon.

I have had better luck with Knob Creek 120 producing better swarf. I think it was swarf, but it was getting hard to visualize properly toward the end of the honing/drinking session.

I usually hone standing up. 120 proof might just be problematic in that regard.

I love Buffalo Trace! I highly agree!

I guess the real question would be "Is it safe for use on a Coticule" Bawhahahaha

Skip the dilute step, and everything should be just fine.

yes, pour it on. At $23 a bottle, you can afford it.

Works better as strop paste, since it's the micro/nano charcoal crystals imparted from the barrel that we are after. Just apply, let dry. Just use leftovers during the drying to kill time. Mmmm?
