I really like the 6". I can sit on the sofa and palm hone while I watch tv :).

The first edge off my black was hazy. I ran it over some CrOx for shine lol. It worked :). Was really attractive but - it was a bit too crisp for me. Since then it has been from rock right to...

Thanks eKretz!

Your rock looks awesome btw - and your insights are a great read! I'll be very interested to hear what your face says.

I have been using my Black on a variety of different...

Wow - those are spectacular! Congrats!

Sorry - I know nothing of bedding.

So I touched up my blade with the Black and went straight to the linen and then leather - wow!

I guess the last time I ran it over the CrOx after the Black and before the leather because that...

I picked up my soft, hard, and black for a little over $100USD. Had I known the love affair I would form with them, especially my black, I would have gotten bigger stones. I still might, but the...

That's a really nicely sized slab!

I'll give it a whirl lol.

Yeah - good point. Not sure why I went with the CrOx.

I had my first full Arki shave this morning. Breadknifed my blade a day or two ago. Went soft, hard, black. Did a few passes on CrOx, linen, leather.

Dudes! I couldn't believe how smooth it...

New toys lol!! Woot!

How do you intend to prep it?

So I have been working on my Black since Friday. Just for the heck of it, I ran a blade over it today before shaving.

I only have one days of growth so it doesn't take much but - it was pretty...

Nice - have a look at knifecenter, they had Dans arks on sale. It would have been cheaper to buy them from knifecenter than dans lol. Last week at least.

yup - still on sale.

Dan's Whetstone...

Hey guys. I got my rocks today.

I really like palm honing, so I got 6x2's. I like 5" better, but there's a point where you hit diminishing returns. :)

They are pretty flat - woot!!

For all you guys who bought from Dan's:

I ordered this weekend - got a thanks for your order email - but still haven't got the "your order has shipped" email.

I am so used to businesses doing...

Do you guys polish up your soft and med Arks as well?

Well I just bought a set from Dan's. Soft/Med/Black. Here's hoping :).

Truth be told I just put an awesome edge on a pocket knife with my last remaining Ark. I have no idea what it is - I think...

How do you like working a 6*3 stone? Do you wish it was a 8*3?

How are you guys lapping your Arks?

Lol. I ment the stone. What are the dimensions of the stone. That said - cool blade :)

Is that a four inch?

Thanks man. Never heard of these guys before. I'll scope em out.

Who is NW?? Do you have a link?

As I mentioned to you all I was in negotiations with Hall's

- I originally asked if their black/soft combos used the same quality Surgical Black as their stand alone Blacks.

- they said no,...

Well, I contacted Halls today :).

When they get back to me, I'll finally get myself a Black. I can't wait to run my benchmark blade over it and see how it fairs :).

Woot!
