Thread: I broke my hone!

I broke my lithide too,I also have a 8x2 Swaty I dropped it as well but managed to catch it on the way down, that would have been a real shame
Kind regards Peter

Looks like Lithide has a habit of doing that. Mine fell on a tile floor, and shattered into pieces...

I was beginning to wonder if they might be unusually brittle. I've subjected other hones to far worse and they have emerged unscathed.

I guess I'm in this club too - I broke my Lithide too. Got another one but don't really use it now after I got a Swaty

Cheers

Wow! I hope you guys don't drop your razors as often as you drop your hones!

But seriously, sorry to hear about your hones.

Hmmm...
I better go knock on wood now...

Thankfully, I have yet to do that! *knocks forehead*

Oh my, at first read I thought you broke your BONE! Relieved it's just your hone.

You know, it's possible you may still be able to use your hone if one of the pieces is big enough and the surface is undamaged. Just thought I'd mention it.

Really, sorry to hear about it.

It broke nearly in half; I can probably use it to lap other stones, but honing on it would be hard unless I was trying to sharpen hobby knives or something.

Broke mine too. Good thing, because then I gave up the barber hone masochism and bought myself a Norton and a couple of pasted bench strops. Many hours saved!
