Thread: Another gamble

Figured this was well worth $9 for the gamble on the bay...looks promising.

Was watching that as well,good luck Dennis .

it looks a lot like this: http://straightrazorpalace.com/aucti...idea-what.html

I was wondering about it as well but haven't tried to buy it, if it is any good he probably had more of them to sell

Probably some of the Chinese hones hes selling ?

Here's a stone I recently picked up via ebay for $4.95 + shipping. Seller says the stones are from Italy and the claim is 10k-12k.
They look very similar to a BBW. It initially felt very similar to the C12k.


After lapping:


Time to run it through some paces….

I was watching the green hone as well. Let us know how it turns out. Good luck.

Hi Kevin - were the stones chamfered when you acquired them, or do you do that yourself? If so, for what reason?

That's the way they are delivered, both the slurry & the main.

I didnt bought them because they looked like the C12K to me....

and this one doesnt look like a BBW though

Nah I looked through his completed, he has never sold any similar, at least recently, and has sold several belgian coticules and places a quarter next to them as well, all of his other stones in the past have been vintage
