I quite enjoy it actually. I had a mk31 which I found to be too short, the mk10 is about the same length and grind but smaller width. I’m still dialling in the edge but it’s very promising so far. They seem very similar, even down to the hard to hone metal.How are you liking that heljestrand compared to your grelots?
Thanks, yes the size is good for long x-strokes. I just honed a razor, it passes a good HHT before stropping. The color of the photos are not realistic. It is not a purple BBW like my LPB, it is a very dark one, almost black. It was only taken with a smartphone cam, even the black wooden base looks purple, LOL.
Did that come from the baker?
Can’t think of his name but the French eBay seller. He sells a lot of stones that look like that.Who is the baker? It’s definitely possible if I’m not sure who you’re talking about...
