Okay I give up. What does a rabbi have to do with a wet stone anyway? What is the significance of the color blue? What am I missing here?

Do you think razor guys are the only people who buy Eschers? Rabbis buy them to put the final edge on their kosher slaughter knives. They heavily prefer the yellow greens but will buy the light greens also. Idk where the notion came from but a lot of them seem to treat dark blues like lepers.

Like to the point where if I listed 10 yg thuris 6 or 7 would be going to one of them because they pounce on the things the way Australians pounce on frictionites and Norton razor hones... I think it is mostly speed as far as the color is what I take from it as far as their ideas.

Well, if there's one thing that every good rabbi should understand, it's that nothing in the temporal realm lasts forever.

I'll lower the price to $465 TYD if that will sway anyone to buy it!

They sort of help drive that market in the way Ukrainians and Russians have driven the Arkansas stone market for years. Notice arks are going up again after a flattening out, it's because the Ukrainians are buying them aggressively again. The depressing thing about the arks is they could buy rare stuff like rosy red washitas with labels and once they get there almost all of them are cut up into strips for those KME sharpening systems they are obsessed with. I have been told from the horse's mouth..
And BTW, that's a nice deal from OP for that stone.. A proper bench stone with a really great label. I'm surprised it hasn't gone.Last edited by kcb5150; 07-18-2023 at 06:25 PM.

An Escher only is a proper Y/G if it has the relevant label on the long end.
