I got it lightly used. To the best of my knowledge it was -- the gentleman she purchased it from had quite a collection and was letting go of a few of them because of financial and practical reasons. It was supposed to be freshly honed.

I'll wait and see how things go for the next few weeks and then I may start to ask advice on whetstones of choice.
