A gift from my wonderful girlfriend. /grin Pics and impressions to follow.

Hone #2

Whew, happy birthday my friend. And if it's not your birthday, let me know where you got your gf from so I can go there and try my luck (j/k).

Hehe, finally got it?

Did she make a treasure trail for you?

Major congrats!
Hopefully you will let us know how it hones for ya.

Thanks,

Mac

That's the amazing thing; it's not my birthday! She's a keeper for sure.

Nope, no treasure trail... unless you count slowly opening the box and unwrapping her. I'm odd like that, I try not to rip anything. And I kept joking at every step about how I wanted to "save the authentic Japanese tape" and such. Hehe, I amused myself.

Thanks Mac, I will indeed. I'll probably post about results in the honing section, and it also means I'll be able to compare to the Charnley and the C12K... err... "The People's Hone of indeterminate grit".

That hone is beautiful and we all want to hear how it does on razor steel. One question: how are ya gonna lap it without damaging the irreplaceable Japanese characters? That will take some serious Zen! Last comment, I hope the GF ends up with an even nicer rock from you!

Nothing in the world would change Gift from close person. I know how you feel . Don't forget to give back (takes a lot out of man).Enjoy Lee
