    Default SOLD B.T. Co Escher Yellow Green Water Razor Hone FOR SALE

    Still up for grabs

    Rare boxed B.T. Co Yellow Green Escher with end label and back label. Also labelled in the box. A hair shy of 5x2&1/2"x13/16" thick. If you're a hand holder this is the creme de la creme of razor hones. Escher is one of the only hones that was marketed as a razor hone, rather than being a tool hone adopted for that purpose.
    A steal for the honer or the collector @ $500.00
    Shipping cost depends on destination.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Beautiful Jimmy - and I agree, wonderful to hold in the hand, a hone that you can easily pick up anytime the need requires to refresh your razor with a legendary edge.

    I was slow to realize that lying the stone flat and approaching it like a big Naniwa wasn't the way to roll with this stone...in the hand, short light strokes, and in the blink of an eye, a velvet smooth, uber sharp edge, with no harshness.

    Beautiful stone at a great price....whoever grabs it will be lucky indeed, as the saying goes, they ain't making them anymore...

    Nice hone Jimmy. I can't understand this concept of selling hones, but I guess it's nice of you to make them available for other people!

    Ron I found that a Carborundum moistened with saliva gives me the best edges of any hone I've ever had ...........
