    Default Coticule Stone

    Does this seem too cheap for a stone this size? This guy has a lot of listings, has anyone bought from him before?

    Any opinions would be appreciated.

    I have never purchased from this vendor but I have seen his listings. His cost for that stone is about $6 less than the total cost of a stone (shipping included) if purchased from Howard Schechter at theperfectedge.com If the measurements are correct on the Ebay listing, Howard's most similar coticule would be 3/8ths inch wider than the Ebay stone. For $6 more, and the fact that Howard has great service and has a vast wealth of sharpening knowledge freely given if asked, I'd recommend Howard. I have purchased a fair number of things from Howard. He's top on my list.

    the price is correct. that's the same price that howard has.
    i've talked to the seller and he's been selling these for quite a while. i don't think there's anything strange or unusual here.
