Archone Japanese Waterstone
Bonika Mission Statement and Logo
Glorifying Christ is our first priority. Our second priority is to deal with our business associates as we would want them to deal with us.
Our fish logo was chosen for a number of reasons. Number one, the fish predates even the cross as a symbol of Christianity. We feel that the fish accurately reminds us of our mission statement. Secondly, the fish is universally accepted as a creature of prosperity unrestricted by geographic boundaries. The old adage Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime could be said with equal accuracy Teach a person to cut hair or Teach a person to sharpen The logo is always ebony, ivory or gold which represents the various cultures for which our shears are designed. The B inside the fish logo stands for Bonika Shears.
Description
New style Archone made in Japan by Naniwa. Ideal for creating ridelines on curved shears. Size 133 mm X 28 mm X 20 mm Material is Gouken high quality Japanese waterstone.
Note: two sides are flat, one side has a convex curve and the other a concave curve.
The Archone is a simple Japanese waterstone cut arcs for creating ridelines in shears that would be impossible to hone using a traditional waterstone. While it is not as perfect as a waterstone it gives the closest approximation to a flat rideline without ramping or relaxing the edge. It is quick to use in fast paced situations like hair and pet shows where there is not time to take the shears apart.
The key is electrical tape wrapped around the center. This allows the rideline to be closer to flat.
