    Brilliant offer!
    I'm up for that!
    I got a few knives that still need attention, I'd be happy to try your slate Gerry if you still looking?
    Cheers

    hello Diviy,
    How's the Welsh slate honing stones coming along? I picked up a nodule other day from an "over spill" (ahem) from a bag of Welsh slate chuckies for ornamental paving use that was sitting outside Homebase (the birds much have pecked a hole innit).. some spit & a short strop produced a nice slurry paste I sharpened a SAK as a demo. I hope you had a great trip in TGO look forward to hearing of your travels.
    Regards
    David
