So he posted on here inquiring as to whether others had the same problems with their zulu stones. He got the usual various responses, some praising the stone, a few were not so complimentary. To cut to the chase, Mike got wind of the thread and even though the fellow didn't buy the stone directly from him, he offered to replace it with another that he would personally test for viability.
Posting this to say that if that is typical of his customer service, I wouldn't worry about ending up with nothing at the end of the day. I'll also add that in posting this, I've got nothing for the vendor, nor anything against him. Just calling it as I see it based on past performance. No warranty by me expressed or implied.
That was actually me and I emailed Mike about it. Mike is a stand up guy and backs his product/business. If he is willing to replace a second hand hone: that's a guy you can trust. I wish I hadn't bought second hand just so I could have given my money to him for being awesome. I can't even say how much a respect someone that stalwart. If he says you'll get it I'd take that as fact. As for how awesome is the ZG? That's up to you and I'm tweaking with mine still to perfect my edges.
