3. The Hone is utilized for the V-Groove Irons and the Crown Irons. It is machined from CNC
aluminum alloy to produce a specific sized V-shape angle and arc. The surface is hardened,
sandblasted, and anodized for an amazing finish. When paired with grinding paste of 6000 mesh
or above, you can achieve a razor-sharp edge on your iron. During the honing process, it is
necessary to ensure that the beveled edge is making complete contact to the honing surface (as
shown in Fig. 5). This is to avoid damaging the iron and hone due to incorrect grinding angle and
direction..
Note: When honing, grinding paste (not included) must be used in conjunction with the hone
to achieve best results.
