Thread: Who would buy this?

And sometimes the truth hurts or is unpleasant as well.
Things were what they were, this we cannot change,
but as long as we learn and move forward hopefully one day we can say history does not repeat itself.

Definitely not a Nazi swastika on that hone so buyers can bid with a clear conscience.

If this is actually an East Indian hone than that just shows my ignorance on the matter. I understand that the swatiska has been in use forever. I feel most sorry for the religions who had their symbol appropriated by Nazis. But if I met a fella with a bald head and only this hone I'd certainly have some questions.
How is the hone by the way Hirlau? I guess it comes down to context really. There have been many times I have thought about displaying those knives, but never without my grandfather's knife and picture included.

Sorry, I really don't know. 99% of my barber hones, I have never used. I just collect them. It is in good shape, is all I can tell you.
