A stereo recording of honing a very blunt stainless steel knife on a modified bench grinder with a honing wheel at one end and a cloth buffer/polisher at the other.The buffing wheel is slightly off balance (as is their nature) and is audible as such.

the sound of the wobble in the slightly unbalanced grinding wheel... the change of pitch as the blade makes contact.

It's beautiful.

...& your recording is clean, thank you :]
