    Yep I have one myself, it is the only Swaty I kept for me

    I mess with it now and then for "Nostalgia"

    These 8" ones pop up from time to time. Obviously Hirlau found his!
    I've wondered why they made an 8" model because it sort of defeats the main point of a barber hone which is to just have a small pocket sized stone for quick touchups in between shaves... And then when you look back at the price difference you can really see why the 8" ones are a lot more rare...

    I think they made the bigger ones because the smaller ones were great hones. At least the Pike version and the Währing Bei Wien ones anyway - those are the two that I have found to be excellent. They are almost like a historical version of an 8k+ Shapton.
