Thread: King 4/8 vs Norton 4/8

Hmm I have a few norton stones for work and they are all made in Mexico.. not bad stones at all. I have a feeling it's going to be a new coticule vs old coticule type of argument..

Can you post a picture??

Here ya go....the chip in the corner occurred during shipping to me.

I've been going back and forth between Norton and Naniwa and now I have the king hones to rattle around in my head too. My edges off of the king 1k/6k is almost good but I'm sure it would be easier with a middle stone and a better edge with a higher grit. I was thinking a stone between 3k and 4k and something between 8k and 12 k.

@TheFiveO what problems are you having?

Are the Norton hones now made in Mexico?

Can't be too bad. It is a pile of razors your boot won't accommodate what have crossed this stone!
