    Picked up another hone

    I can tell for sure that it is not a man made stone. Now it was cut and shaped by man. I do it will put a very nice smooth edge on a blade. Nice finishing stone

    Picked up another hone

    I’ve looking and have changed my mind about it. I now don’t believe it is a Thuringian It’s a very good hard stone I just wish I knew what it really is. With nothing but photos in the computer it’s very hard to tell

    Picked up another hone

    I do believe this is a dark blue thuringian hone. I've honed my pocket knife and so far it gives a good edge. It is a slow stone and requires a slurry stone to create the slurry quickly. you can get the slurry with jut the knife but it's slower. I think I'm going to like it. I plan on a visit to...

    Picked up another hone

    It’s okay but like the one I had back then. The one I had then would make a slurry pretty quick and put an edge on the blade then with less pressure polish the edge. It was great. I hope to visit a friend who has se Has several different stones I could look at. The ones that are used maybe even...

I really liked that hone. it did a great job on my knives but I guess someone thought more of it than me because it left one day and never came back. I really miss that stone. If this one...

    Sold12K or more water finishing stone

    This is one that I acquired off the bay and it does a pretty good job. I finished a few razors with it and they shaved pretty good. I have several stones and of course my favorite is the Suehiro 20K but I expected it to be. It cost me 200. This one was quite a bit less. I took the photos off the...

    Got lucky

    I was lucky to get this Henckel 50 1/2 off eBay. from the photos it looks as if it will clean and polish up real good. I have 3 or 4 of this model and they shave very good. I got it as a very good price I think and can't wait to get it.

    first straight shave in months

    Well I finally put the safety razor up and got out one of my Henckels. washed my face and lathered up . After the wreck and 3 months using the store bought safety I took the time to get the straight out and strap it up. The shave turned out very good and no colors (red). So I'm back with straights.
