I havent done the few swipes on the 20k since i got it back. No need. From what I was told, the pits were just that. Pits. Not SU as i first thought. They were wider and not deep tiny pin holes. And...

It had pits that were breaking down and causing the edge to chip. Not any more. Thanks for the explanation on the finish. I had no clue this happened with Jnats. I will need to pay closer attention...

The lighter reflecting spot is one of the LEDs in the scope. I try to keep those out of the pic most the time. Test shave in an hour.

Just a little update.
These Jnat stones are picky suckers. I'd like to use harsher words to explain how I feel about them but... Just remember I'm a bad mouthed truck driver and fill in the blanks....

I got the time to try out these loaner stones and ...
I got stickage!
I've honed 5 razors tonight from lots of different starting points and 4 out of the 5 are giving great HHT. The keenness feels...

I agree that moving used slurry from one stone to another would mean it will polish more than cut as the slurry would be broken down very fine by then. But at that step polishing is what you want. ...

Moving used slurry from stone to stone? When will all the ideas stop. So many different things can be done my mind is having trouble keeping up. Glad this is all in print!

I like this idea Bill. Thanks for the comment. Sounds like i will need to see how fast it is. Might be a good use for it.

@Steve56 i dont like what your saying but i cant argue it. So its possible i lapped the stone and cause SU to peek its head out. I didnt know it could be in n the stone and not all the way thru. ...

My understanding of SU is most the time its ok. But if the edges of the SU chip off and are weaker than it will cause issues. But you all know how much i know. Just what ive read when it comes to...

I bought it a few years back and don't have any proof. Plus i did send him an email but got no reply. If i was in his shoes i dont think id do much for me either. Just a bad luck of the draw i guess....

Someone saying to not buy another rock? What kinda Enabler are you. Reverse psychology? Ha.

Ive gotten word that my stone has SU. Holes. These holes have weak edges and are chipping off in my...

I hope not many Jnats. But a couple any way.
Id love to learn them all but I think my goal is to find just a few that give me the best results in an edge. My Thuri is really turning out some great...

So mine is on its way to be checked out as said, and another fine member has sent me twp Jnats to try out. So no my next weekend i should get word about my stone, and be able to play with a couple...

I tried again and sill didn't get what i would call a keen edge. Could i shave with it, sure. Id say its about like a 8k at the most. Maybe less. Its now boxed up with my Tomo and will hit the post...

Thanks for the offer, Steve. I've had a couple of guys offering the same thing. We have a great community of good folks here! Thanks for the offers gentlemen. I will PM.

BTW, I'm just back from a...

OK, I'm having to step away from this Jnat.

I've tried everything others have offered for help. Everything I could read or think of and still it's not getting a good edge. It's close but not a...

Thanks for the comment on the arkie Aaron. The more i read about the Jnat, the more i find in comparison to the Arkie stones.

I will get a chance today to get back to the stone. When, i have no...

If you say so. Looks like a rock to me. :rofl2:
Thanks on the mirror finish. I was surprised it came out so well. If nothing good happens at least i got a shinny rock!

BTW, here is a pic i found on my phone of the bottom side of my Jnat. For those who like rocks...
This was after sealing it.

I was reading the wiki page on JNS. Thought before I started honing this weekend id do a little maintenance on my Jnat. I plan on using the Tomo enstead of my diamond card this weekend so i lapped...

I think i have one on my phone with the stamp still on it.

Thanks for the comment Alex. I will try and pay closer attention. Maybe its just slowing my stroke down and not sticking. Its a good point.

Thanks Marty.
My plan, on my next days off is to hone another razor on the jnat without tape. See if i get the stiction. That will tell me if this stone has that ability.
The one i honed the hell...

I did figure out i can do around 100 laps in 5 minutes, give or take. So there, I did learn something.:rofl2:
