    Nah,those are just strops.One a 4-sided paddle and the other a loom type.This Farny thing is a machine that you crank that's supposed to hone and strop by cranking it.I certainly haven't seen or heard about it before,but it's very cool.Sure would like to see one.Seems like if they really worked,there'd be more of them around........
