If I understand correctly, the idea of a wiki is to discuss the articles in order to improve the information and the way it is presented. | If I understand correctly, the idea of a wiki is to discuss the articles in order to improve the information and the way it is presented. | ||

| + | I have a great deal of experience with the Belgian hones, and I know that if someone would use a Belgian Blue with slurry for the 4K-hone and a Coticule with water for the 8K hone, together with decreasing layers of tape (as suggested in the article), the results will be very disappointing.

| + | I would like to suggest advising '''one single layer of tape''' on during the formation of the bevel on the coarser hones, in order to prevent the spine from excessive wear. A complete bevel should be formed on the below 2K level. After that the tape may be removed for further refining and polishing. (A link should be included here, to an article that discusses the use of tape) | ||
