Title: conditioning stones
Post by: magnumgray on March 28, 2015, 05:19:34 PM


    My favorite was the K&H  139  stone .... they are no longer manufactured. What's a good alternative?  I use them on an aluminum slot/trough call ..... they give them a distinct sound that is much better than with sandpaper or grit cloth.

I like the Primos Slick Stick, seems to work real well.

Mad calls used to have a stone & I carried it for years, lost it & haven't seen another.  Mike

the Knight and Hale was the perfect grit for glass and crystal.  I have one that is wore down to about 3/8 long, it was about 2 1/2 when I bought it.   it is soft and will leave a lot of grit/powder on the call. But it will condition a glass call perfectly.

I have several others laying around that I condition new calls with.  I wont put a brand new stone on a new call, they will gouge the crap out of the crystal.  I have taken new stones and run them up and down on my belt sand to get them started, even have run the across a flat file before.

The old Knight and Hale stone is my favorite also. I got lucky and found one a couple of years ago. I called them and some guy found one in his desk and sent it to me for free. I like it much better than the stone on a stick versions.

Primos slick stick or cane creek calls makes a nice stone.  Scoot

I like my Slick Stick for an all in one type tool.
My stone from David Halloran seems to do a better job conditioning.
