I havent been in the mood for honing lately hope to get back at the Lune soon.
Not sure I want to go through l the work ofapping one of those pieces of bacon, Paul. Its a nice looking rock and...

I do still have the PHIG Mike. And have used it. It does great but has no level of comfort.
I like an edge that is keen enough that it feels like a washcloth wiping the whiskers off with no effort...
