Steve,

If the slurry garnet ratio is higher in the yellow, then what you say makes a lot of sense. More garnets in the slurry would mean a higher frequency of abrasion with the metal.

Isn't...

In my limited experience I would have to concur with Josh and say that the yellow with slurry does cut faster than the blue with slurry. Don't understand why either, just my experience.

I would love to hear the next step myself...

Wow, great post! I'm excited that Ross Cutlery is in my own backyard. All though I don't go to downtown LA much, I might have to make a special trip.

:)

Question for all:

I've got a little W&B 1/4 wedge where the bevel does not extend completely to the heel. As for my set up I have a DMT 325, Belgian blue/Carborundum combo, and Belgian Yellow...

To all: I want to thank you all for your posts. I just received my Belgian Blue/Carborundum combo stone, and Yellow Coticule from Howard. Since I am just beginning my honing journey I appreciate...
