Thread: (Glued) Belgian Combo Hone

So, here's a question for the group. What's up with the price of this combo hone -- $471? I could be missing something basic, but I've always thought and assumed that natural combo hones are a lot rarer and therefore worth a lot more than the ones where a coticule is just glued onto a Belgian blue. And this is definitely one of the glued ones. Also the length of this hone is certainly long (10"), but the width is kind of puny (2 1/4"). If you want to check out the complete listing, it is item number 380192083520.

Anyway, someone brought this sale up to me in a discussion today, and it got me wondering. Is there something about this hone that I'm missing? Thanks!
