What RezDog said... but, with that said, I took a stonier route. I started with the Naniwa 12K and have to say, I would do it again.

Barber hones will require some research. Enjoyable research, really. There are so many and the variations... Let's just say, I'd been stuck on BHs and haven't gotten anywhere else since,,,, well, except researching Bonsai and veggie gardening. Thanks alot SRP
