Thread: Cry like a baby

FiReSTaRT,

I don't disagree concerning the Colonel Conk hone, however, it was the only thing that I could find in my area. I checked barber supplies, pharmacies, discount stores, antique stores, barber shops, and finally a cutlery store. The cutlery store was the only one that had a 'barber's hone'. Albeit a Colonel Conk.

When I am able to acquire a Norton 4k/8k, the Colonel Conk will probably be converted to use on the knives on my block planes. Possibly for my pocket and hunting knives also.

Anyway, a bird in hand......

You can always order online. It should come out to under $70 shipped from Vintage Blades LLC IIRC.
