    Default Tools from Japan, a better deaL

    Hey guys,

    Save a fortune on hones. Australian retailers of stones such as the Naniwa SS 10k(we are charged $147) But it is half the price at Tools from Japan, postage is similar. They sell a 10k Nani SS for $72. they sell a Kingstone 8k Gold for $77, here we pay double.

    I bought a Suehiro Gokumyo 20k, and through the process of re-searching this product, I found out how much we were being ripped off. I won't cause any company public embarrassment. By naming them.

    Look at 'Tools from Japan', you will pay double here in Oz for the same product.

    Easy to see...... I hope new shavers read this, they will pick up some lovely stones at half the price we 'were' expected to pay

    Wouldn't it be more hit & miss on fleabay? You'd have to trust the seller...

    I've bought from 3 different Jp sellers on eBay . No probs with any of them.
    That said TFJ has the best price on Gok 20's.

    Some ebay sellers from Japan sell choseras and super stones cheaper than any store here in US and that includes shipping.
