If you are looking to sharpen tools mostly, research vintage Norton synthetic hones, the competitive Australian wood cutters LOVE those things, I would guess that and using a Ark black or translucent as a finisher would give an outstanding edge on tools
Thanks RobB, I spent a lot of time researching the axe thing. I think my local vintage tool shop had one of those, and a frictionite. I'm going back again soon to double check... WOW!
