Thread: Poor newbie's hone set

I'm sure the common man didn't have expensive stones like that, or did they?

Use the forum search box, upper right of the page, put in 12K Chinese hone and see how many posts you get. That should help clear up any questions on that hone. I don't own one of those hones so I can't comment on them.
