I currently have a Norton 4k/8k stone, but was looking for something finer to polish with. I'm new to honing equipment for straights, and have been looking around at Shapton's and Chinese stones. I found these on ebay, and they seem really cheep compared to other prices out there.
Good deal or rip off?
