nice, I have a foot of snow and you have the sun...

Try the stones out but try to get a pic of the exact stones your getting. I think some people have had problems with the stones having a line running through it that was more coarse which would damage the blade.

Many of the Chinese hones have those lines in them and they are considered to be a basic characteristic of the hones. I have two such hones with the lines and they have no impact on the honing. I believe that is the experience of most who have used these hones.
All natural hones will vary in quality and characteristics, but I don't think the lines on the hone serve as an indicator of the serviceability of the Chinese hone.

And I am willing to stand corrected. If anyone has experience with the lines specifically causing problems, I'd be curious to know about it.
