For the ymmv crowd. I've tried a coticule that produced zero swarf on a thick slurry in a reasonable time. I'd say it was the gentlest slowest stone I've ever seen. Definitely not a one stone...

Possibly so or it could mean you've already honed past a good edge. It's not an absolute indicator to rely on.

There is a really simple reason why this works...for some stones.

Honing under running water is a way to compensate for a friable stone which may realease larger particles that can be rinsed away...
