Nice save Glen. Looks as good as new.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Thanks for the walkthrough Glen!
Just out of interest, what makes you decide on the Naniwa's versus the Shaptons? Is it how the edge is responding to the hones, the condition the edge is in or is it just what you happen to feel like using at the time? Or something else?

Thanks for the walkthrough Glen!
I think you just substantially shortened my time on the super dull razors.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

It actually had nothing to do with the Dovo, IIRC I was also honing a 8/8 Friodur that day...

The Dovos are easy to hone, they are not picky in the least, I can get a great edge off of just about any set of stones with them...
Those big Henckles however are a bit picky and take a bit more finesse to get a smooth edge, sharp is easy, smooth takes a bit more talent with those...
The most consistent results with the big Henckles I have found for me, are the Naniwas, so the Dovo was just riding shotgun along for the ride..
