Be a bit careful with soap on stones that are a little porous (like washita), because soap scum can get trapped in the stone and is very hard to remove.I have been experimenting with 100% olive oil soap and water with really good results, I might ditch oil altogether now and move to olive soap from now on. Olive oil soap is really slick non foaming.
Yep noted, pretty sure it will be fine on finer grades like black/translucent Arks and my favourite...charnleys.Be a bit careful with soap on stones that are a little porous (like washita), because soap scum can get trapped in the stone and is very hard to remove.
Do you know if this can be a problem with liquid hand dish soap? I add one drop per 120ml of water.Be a bit careful with soap on stones that are a little porous (like washita), because soap scum can get trapped in the stone and is very hard to remove.
Not sure, but possibly. Intuitively I'd guess less than bar soap/lather, but just a guess.Do you know if this can be a problem with liquid hand dish soap? I add one drop per 120ml of water.
Haven't tried the Hindo yet. I just ran an old Grandma stanless on the Washita. Did a nice job and quick too. That knife is a pain to sharpen as it is a floppy knife upturned tip. So the washita did great.Paint me jealous! I've been looking for a hindostan for the better part of a year and have yet to find one.
Have you had a chance to oil up that washita and see what it can do?
Ok after an evening of chopping and prepping chicken enchiladas I felt like seeing what the washita would do on a light touch up on the Jonas cleaver. Quick touch up and a few strokes on the TOS. The bite is amazing and smokes through paper towels.Paint me jealous! I've been looking for a hindostan for the better part of a year and have yet to find one.
