Thanked: 13234This is the latest version of the article that I have saved, which Mike mentioned above, it raises the thoughts about what to buy before you buy

I was asked this exact question at the Denver meet this past Sunday, there was a time that my automatic answer was "Find a good quality Barber's Hone at a good price and never look back" but now a days those are getting to be stupid expensive and hard to find.. My goto response is more toward the Naniwa SS 12k now, that is a very versatile hone at a very fair price...

My friend is Very Correct! I got a decent barbers hone but on the advice a member, I bought the Naniwa 12k.
When you get into full honing that Bang for the Buck goes way up! I had to kind of bend my good friend pinklather's arm a bit to make him believe me on how well it worked. Just ask him!
With that said, I've posted many times that if I dropped and broke my Naniwa 12K and couldn't afford to replace it, I could live off of the 8K side of my Norton 4/8 for the rest of my life!
However if I were to break the 4/8 I'd eat peanut butter sandwiches day in and day out until I could afford a new one!
