    That's an amazing looking collection. I only have two Jnats that work well for me. Having gone down the rabbit hole for razors, brushes, and soaps, I need to stop looking at these kinds of posts.

    Thank you evnpar and basil! basil we are definately of the same mind! Lol! I love finding old stones and figuering them out. Trying to squeeze all that I can from them. Then when you find a jewel treasure it by putting it to use.

    You know whats funny, that stones weighs a little over 10 pounds. I had to purchase it because my original stone is stuck in Mexico because it weighs in at 57 pounds and is crazy expensive to ship and I can't bring it on the airplane because it is over the 50 pound weight limit. I started a thread about it but have not been able to get it in my pessession. So I purchased the 10 pounder just so I could test it out.

    It is from Oaxaca, Mexico but the guy I purchased it from does not ship to the U.S. only the domestic market.
    It is a nice looking and performing stone. To be honest it is like a soft grade Washita, in that it can be like a 1kish(150 W/D SIC) on the bottom end and if you finish it on a 600 W/D SIC sand paper it can go to 4kish. For its size and price it is hard to beat. I paid 20 dollars for that one, no joke.

    How much would it be to cut off 8 pounds?

    It would still last a long time!
