Thread: Hello rabbit hole.

My hone rig:
House of knives (Chinese) water stone under Edge Logix branding -
400/1000, 1000/3000, 4000/10000,
220 lapping stone
Inexpensive hand held microscope
(Like this guy at 21:25 - https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=c_DjcyEtl7I )
5 mW red laser to assess blade bevels

From Straight Razor Designs since most of my research online pointed me there.
Dovo Bismark 6/8 full hollow with black ebony scales
3" English Riding leather strop with nylon alternate strop

I was initially going to just get the 4000/10000 stone to refresh my straight razor, then I realized I have dull kitchen knives, woodworking chisels, and pocket knife so the balanced tipped and I decided to learn a new skill.

There is a certain satisfaction that comes from a sharp edge. I would be lying if I said I didn't love it.
