Does anyone know where one can buy a good cretan hone in Crete?

Huge slabs 2 kilos a piece

Picked up a few Cretan hones during my stay in Crete. I even found a nice little coticule at the knife shop. I was able to set a bevel on a an old eBay full hollow in less than 5 minutes. I will have to see how it performs with other dull razors, but if the results are similar, then I may be putting my chosera 1k into early retirement.

Very interesting pictures, thanks for the review.
