Revisor 6/8" on Slates

This is perhaps my favorite blade. If I had to chose only one to leave the house with in an emergency this would be in the top 3.It just 'fee's right in the hand and shaves like a champ. Hones easily and holds the edge for a long time. But it was a bit touchy today and I wanted to re do it and finish on the Escher to see if it likes that stone.

I mean it should, the blade is German and so is the stone :))
