Quick update: I have used the Belgian Blue with the DMT 1200, coticule and Nakayama I have, to restore 4-5 razors and re-sharpen 7-8 more.

What a peculiar, but great, stone!

I have used it...

That's a cool idea right there. I look forward to the pics.

Quick update, I am going with an 8"x3" belgian blue from Howard. For now....

Must. Fight. HAD.:jedi:Must...be...STRONG...

But I wants a new hone!! I NEEDS a new hone. Don't you see? This new one will surely be the one to put me over the top save-wise. This will be the last hone I ever need....seriously.


Edit:...

I PM'ed Chris L about the trade possibility already.

I like the sound of the Tam... but I don't want to give him a possibly messed up DMT 8k. No need to delve into the specifics on it, but I'm...

Well... I am not dead set against something slow... I know nothing is going to rival the diamond's speed.

I am looking harder at Howards 8" belgian blue...

A bunch of guys around here bought...

Well.... I sure did like it... but I would really like a natural hone. I have a coticule that is awesome for the pre-final finish, and my new bestest finisher the Nakayama.

I just wanted...

Yeah, diamond is faster, but that gets me into microchipping territory with harder razors in my stable.

I have a Spyderco set of hones, but I don't like the feel of em. They seem to dull down...

Well, I have a coticule and it's way too fine to go from 1200 without taking all day. I heard a belgian blue was too slow without slurry, hence my reluctance to purchase such a stone.

So... I have a DMT 1200 and think it's great. I have a DMT 8k and used to like it. The more I hone, and the better I get, the less I like that goddamn thing:

I DO like the fact that it cuts...
