Wanted to try one of these well-regarded hones — essentially Escher hones labeled for S.R. Droescher for sale in the U.S. — but unsurprisingly I’m much more comfortable with bench honing than in-hand.

Dimensions: 4-15/16” x 1-15/16” x 5/8”

Box and label are in excellent condition. Stone is unlabeled and has a few small chips near edges (see pics) that do not affect honing. Nice and flat on the one side but dished a bit on the other (side with imbedded scratches).

Asking $265 shipped CONUS.
