here... :P

you beat me to it :P

It's just not recommended for beginners, mainly because it's used when it isn't needed. The reason being, bread knifing is used in restorations, not honing, and should only really be used to remove...

Just wanted to make sure. Once they stone drinking water, they're good.

And breadknifing will definitely chew up that hone.

Out of curiosity, are you guys soaking your taidea stones?

Also, if you haven't read this already, check it out...

I'd avoid breadknifing, it's not usually a recommended thing to do. What 3/8 combo did you get?



Idk, mine was around $30 or so for a 3k, maybe others are different?

What do I get

Strange, my taidea is a lot harder than my naniwa....at any rate the naniwas are best for the slight price bump, no point in "upgrading" later, you'd just be needlessly paying for hones twice.

Naniwas are also wider as well.

I have a Taidea 3K...it's okay, but for a bit more I would get the Naniwa combo stone instead. Better consistency and feedback in the Naniwas, and it's only peanuts more.

+1 to the above. Be sure to check this thread out as well http://straightrazorpalace.com/advanced-honing-topics/62970-one-stone-honing-lynn-glen.html
