If you guessed that it was my new La Verte glued combo, give yourself a pat on the back.:thumbup:
I've always liked long, narrow hones, and I've been waiting for Jarrod to get one that I could afford. This bout came up for sale recently - for a very reasonable amount, and I snagged it.
It's pretty obviously a La Verte, and is significantly harder than my other La Verte (pictured below). I love the dimensions: 9.5" x 13/16" x 4/8" - BBW layer is about 5/8" thick. The BBW has some nice pink spots and I look forward to trying it out
I like to have some narrow hones around to help with honing all the old smiley Sheffield blades I have. I've already honed a very smiley Wostenholm Frameback on it, and it was so easy to hone it. Love it!!:w00t:
It's also soooooo beautiful!
