Thread: Look what I took.

Thanks guys. I stop by there about once a month. The owner has my name for when she gets stuff in now since I found these. I told her if she ever gets any more flat rocks or straights to let me know. The coticle is nice with the coli side being really hard and tough to make slurry. It will not auto slurry and is slow even with slurry. The bow side is softer and auto slurries quite fast within 3 laps I can see purple in the water. The barbers hone is nice but I don't think I will use it for razors. It seems a little rough however I will have to experiment with it. I did use it to sharpen some knives and it did so very quickly and shaving sharp in no time

That's a very nice haul! Nice blade on that Satinedge too, however the scales seem to be frighteningly close to descending into cellrot hell. Remember that they were water clear at one time.

Totally agree, very nice haul, might get lucky and find a busted up bladed satin edge online...or replace the scales....celluloid scares me...

Pop the inlays off and make some new scales.

Good haul.

According to MODINE's test that American improved quality three line barber hone is an aggressive sub 8k stone with a tendency to develop a wire edge. Made by AM Hone Co.

Yeah I got the same impression. Its really fast and feels more like a 2 or 3k stone. I will probably just end up using it for knives and hooks.

The scales aren't as yellow as they look in the picture but they are pretty bad but for 25 I figured I could throw some money at it later and get some new scales made up. In the meanwhile I have been keeping the razor stored open to prevent any off gassing to the blade.

Wow! You're living the dream brother...the dream...nice stones and a DD!!!!
