I looked at those hones and they are the same price as the ones offered by SRD so I would consider that to be a much safer option.

Who is SRD? The Ebay seller has offered to ship them free, if I can get a similar deal then I`ll happily get them elsewhere. I would be a lot happier getting them from a SRP member really....

I'd definately buy from SRD if the price was comparable.

If you choose to go with Japanese stones, remember that the grit rating is much different than American grits. I have a mix that I use, but am aware that a 1k Japanese is about the same as a 2K American grit. The 3/8K Naniwa combo stone that SRD offers would be a great stone to start with if you were limited to a budget.

Oh well I`d have gone straight to SRD if I`d known about it! lol How do I find that then? *Goes off to search the forum*

Cor thanks !
