    It doesn't look like anyone is too keen, but if the meet does EVER happen, then I was hoping you would show me, so it appears we are at our first impasse

    That's not quite so impressive sounding, though doing one to two passes on each stone may become wearisome.
    Have you worked out the corrrect order from coarsest to finest if you were to use them all?

    yeah, coarsest to finest is easy, what works best for what steel is the hard part. Most the stones are around the 6-16K mark, leaving my few ultra fine polishers 20K+ and my coarse 800-4k stones..

    Having 100 hones might float my boat, but it might also sink it.

    Dang! Nice pile! I have seven! Any repetition there, or are all different?

    I have a rathe large game collection that hits you in the face when you first walk in, it distracts everyone from the rocks :P

    I would have though you would have had thousands!!! I asked my wife what she would do with them once I did go.. She said she would keep my favourites for my unborn son (2 months to go!) and she would sell the rest of them on here... so, If I'm suddenly selling 100+ stones on SRP you will know why lol

    There are a lot of the same stones although every natural is different
