Can I use a Swaty to hone?
Hi everyone.
I'm not a very experienced honer but I do have a Swaty that I have been using to touch up professionally honed razors with great results. I recently was at an antique store and picked up a Wade & Butcher and a Boker.
My question is since the Swaty is rated about 8k to 10k, is there any reason I can't use the Swaty to hone these razors after setting bevels?
Along the way I have also picked up a Chinese 12k waterstone and have red and black Dovo paste and chromium oxide as well as 1micron and .5 micron diamond paste.
Any suggestions on how to proceed? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Charlie
