The size of the honing stones is 1.5"x4".

It fits exactly in my budget, and is exactly the right price for me to buy without paying import charges...
Question is - is it too good to be true?
Honing was difficult for me to learn and I still get frustrated sometimes, and that's with full-sized hones.

I learned most of what I know from videos, and I would be lost if the person doing the instructing said to give a razor 15 laps. I'm not sure that 15 x 4 = 60 laps on a quarter hone would do the same job.

For that reason I wouldn't buy a quarter hone. At least for me, that would be a bad idea.
