But when I started I bought a king 1k and the norton 4/8 combo.. There is a ton of info about the norton on here it's the janorton thread.. If I had to buy a starter said again it would b lapping film..u can hone and absolutely hate it and be stuck with hundreds of dollars in door stoppers... U can hit the honing wall and never climb over it.. My two cents

If you haven't abused them list them, I do not see how you are stuck.
Yes an investment but no where near the loss of using it as a door stop.

Guess ur right .. What I meant is if u realize honing isn't for u u may b taking a loss in the resale of what u bought..

Thank you all for the advice. I think I am going to take Avenolpey up on his offer to give his hones a try. I will let you guys know what happens. You guys are all awesome! Stand by for lots of questions when I get my hones. Lol
