Thread: Gun Culture, 20K SH Group Buy, wanna save $$ and get THE stone for finishing??

When buying expensive Gun parts, We gun nuts sometimes do a group buy to save $, so who would be interested in the Suehiro 20K Gokumyo stone to own?

FAL- 1 stone.

Maybe before this goes far, you might want to contact the vendor and ask if this is an option. Otherwise this is moot.

To be clear, I think this is a perfectly fine idea, even if I do already have my 20k.

That is true Utopian, I wanted to gauge interest before I attempt to talk to the Maker, as it goes better if you can say we want 20- or? stones

I think you need permission from SRP to use the site for an activity like this also. NOT sure but I would check.

I wonder what site I SHOULD use if not this one?

I do not come here to destroy the site, I like to Help others learn from my mistakes and this is a great way to help get an A1 finish stone/s.

This is exactly right. Thread is closed. A request to do this would have to be reviewed by the moderators before it could go forward. Below find the pertinent info from the SRP Rules of Conduct ;

Initiatives (giveaways, contests, group buys, etc.) policy

All initiatives such as giveaways, contests, group buys, etc. are either organized by SRP staff or in cooperation with SRP staff. They can only be conducted according to the rules and decisions of SRP staff. This does not apply to individual instances such as giving away a razor or a brush, or other minor items.

This policy has been put in place to avoid legal and other consequences for SRP. First and foremost, SRP staff need to take into consideration about what is best for the SRP community and for the SRP's reputation.

If a group buy goes sour and someone takes off with the money, we are left with the aftermath.
If someone were to run a high stakes contest with himself as the sole judge, it has the potential to tear this community apart.
If someone were to organize an activity that involves valuable items with a dodgy ownership status, or which would involve taxes, or which would violate gaming laws, we would be the ones answering questions from men with suits.

As soon as anything needs organizing or becomes more valuable, it needs the written approval of SRP staff. If you intend to run such an initiative contact a Moderator via PM or email.[2]

Honestly, after owning one and then selling it. PM jnats and get a jnat for the same price. Your face will thank you for it.

Well Prodigy, I was thinking about using a Nagura of super fine finish quality to work with the Vermio finisher that I got from Vasilis. Maybe Jnats would tell the best to get.

I'm confused with the O.P. ,,,am I getting a gun or buying a Suehiro from someone,,,,

I'll take the gun,,,,

I've thought about the 20k, but it essentially makes my Escher's obsolete I would think, and I've read that old Sheffield steel just may not be able to handle such a crisp edge, steel just isn't up to it.....
