Kind of like this Jimmy?

Might be your MAIN hone Jimmy, but this is about finishers :)

The real reason for the thread has been figured out. Now that we all know his trick we can stop sending him our stuff!

When I started this thread I had NO intention of there being debate on which hone was better or to determine a "winner" but my competitive nature did seem to fight through and I mentioned 'winner'. I...

American red slate? what would you compare this to? Where did you source that?

You can still draw certain conclusions from the poll but only 10 options max are allowed.

Barbers hone are up there and the only other synthetic I could think of adding. I guess I could have put the norton 4/8k but didnt think that it was a really relevant finisher. What other options...

The Nani is definitely winning but if you were to combine 'naturals' vs 'synthetics' the naturals would be out front by far.

Pictures of your ratty, worn-out lapping film? :)

Wow Skippy! Them some nice stones!

Almost the exact same size as mine. Love this size!

I made the poll multiple choice :)

Pretty please Mr. Glen can you change Charnley forest to Zulu Grey and put another finisher of your choice in where the Chosera 10k is? Maybe 'Barber hone of some type" ? :)

If I had thought it out better I'd probably remove chosera 10k and Charnley from the list and put Zulu and something else.
I'm seeing lots of coti's as final finishers here!

Sorry about that Bob! I realized that after I already populated the list and it only lets you put 10 options!

BUT which do you use the MOST? And a picture? :)

I just pulled the trigger on a vintage droescher coticule. I didn't need it but wanted it.
My question to you guys is, how many people here are finishing on an escher, nani ss12k, shapton whatever,...
