Thread: Kees Thuringian on ebay?

Kees, is that your Thuringian??

He won't say but I will, YES! Kees, you old Dutch tightwad, trying to make money on us, are you?

I tried to buy large amounts thuringer from MST as the distributor but they don't want to sell me

They don't want to sell you full stop or at a reduced price? I wouldn't have thought you'd have had a problem ordering from them at the price on the web page?
I haven't tried asking for a discount if I ordered a number at once because my German isn't up to it.

I asked them as the company rather than the individual person, .They sent me to the seller from Warszawa http://do-drewna.pl/ostrzalki/

funniest, only my suggestions caused that he was offering to Thuringer for honing a razor,earlier he sold me 2 whetstones (MST MiCronBa,Apex Goliath) about gradation 500-600 saying that it of stone for final polishing

The dealer is Warszawa is probably their exclusive distributor in Poland and you would likely need to buy through them just as I am in the USA. I know first hand supply issues are common with these particular stones.

I had the same problem with my Thuringers. They come from a small family-owned company in Germany that are awfully slow in processing orders and will only sell to distributors. It took me about than 2 months to get the 1st shipment.

They are a bit disorganised then? This sounds a little like the TOS hone manufacturers over here who still like to deal in cash or cheque and don't have an online presence. Not that they take that long to send stuff out in my experience.


Do you find these slightly darker hones are a little harder than the lighter ones (i.e. the dearer mst ones)? At least that seemed to be the case with the couple I bought from mst (obviously there musn't be a UK distributor or they decided against trying to make me understand I should use this distributor due to my German. )

@ murph

I have never handled an MST stone so I can't tell you.
