I still remember that day, approx 6 or 7 years ago, when i first put my cheapo wallmart pocket knife to a one dollar sharpening stone that i bought from harbor freight. As time progressed pocket knives led to kitchen knives and kitchen knives lead to straight razors. Not sure what it is but i enjoy honing so much that i often have this urge to pack up, get my *** on a plane to Japan and once there, find a sword polisher who would take me on as an apprentice and teach me all that he knows ( based on my limited research a decent living can very well be earned in this way).
My point in all this is i love honing. The sound of metal on stone is incredibly soothing and i cant seem to get enough of it. So much that i often will intentionally dull my blades just to have an excuse to bring out the stones and create, for lack of a better word, music. I've even gone as far as to record this music and set it as a ringtone. So im curious and i figured this would be a good place to inquire, am i alone on this or can any of you relate, perhaps not specifically but generally??
