Cok uzun yillardir ustura kullanan ve onlarca bileme tasina sahip olan bir tirasseverin tasimiz hakkindaki yorumu:
Well Linguist sent me a piece of the sharpening stone. Thank you Linguist. It is a little small, measuring 3.75 inches by 2.25 inches by .75inches thick that's
95mm x 58mm x 22mm in metric. But it is perfectly useable and good things often
come in small packages. It is a very dense material. It is dark grey in colour with a blue green tint in the
grey. It feels and looks like a high quality Thuringian slate. On very heavy sanding/lapping, it produces a dirty black green slurry, but in
normal use, the slurry is light white/green and it is not a dirty hone. Here are some photo's of the hone, first dry, then wet, then wet with a light
slurry........ This hone is similar to a Thuringian slate or Escher branded hone. I actually prefer it.
It is a very good finishing hone and it puts a smoother edge than I was expecting.
Normally, I expect a raspy but sharp edge of the Thuringian slate hones but this
Turkish hone is softer somehow and produces a really smooth comfortable edge. I
tested it by first touching up an edge on a Japanese synthetic 8k hone and then
polishing the edge with this new hone and stropping on leather. As comfortable and sharp an edge as you could wish for. Every bit as good as a coticule edge in
my opinion. Here are some pictures of the hone with a razor and the edge it produces. Bottom line, a really good finishing hone that will satisfy the most demanding of
tastes. Just for the record, the stone that I received needed heavy sanding and lapping to
bring the working surface to a usable level. Not a criticism but a progression
starting at 40 grit then 80, 120, 180, 400. 600, 800 and finally, 1200 was used.
