I want to know if anyone has bought one of those NOS Escher's from Timber Tools. I emailed the gentleman there, but he really didn't answer my questions. His Eschers, are about 300 bucks for a 5x2 or something like that. He has Thuringian's, a 10x3 for under 100 bucks. What's the diff. Are these really Escher's. he didn't even tell me aprox what grit they are. I mean if it does the same thing a Chinese 12k does, why would i spend 250 more dollars, After all, it's not a Vintage Escher, no labels.
He told me he's sold 1000 of them, so some of you have to be out there. Would my face or razor know the difference after a hone off a NOS Escher vs say, a Chinese 12k? or Thuringian for that matter.
I want one of those NOS Escher's but I'm worried I'm wasting my money. Should I hold out for a Vintage? Help me before I do something stupid, that I'll regret.....
