    I don't mean myth, rather I am interested to see whether the stone I get is on the higher or lower end of the spectrum. From the posts in this thread I can't tell for sure until I try it myself.

    I for one will be interested in reading about your experiences. That is a very attractive price for a stone, especially shipped from Wales. I'm tempted myself, and I'm not even at the point of learning to hone yet.

    My DT had a similar scratch pattern to a Thuringian (dark blue) hone that I got from Toolshop.de . It is a coarser pattern (and less polished) in appearance than from a Norton 8K.

    The DT came and I lapped it. Pretty easy compared to a chinese 12k. I would place it less than 10-8k probably around 6ish like holli said. It is a slow cutter, slurry does speed it up but not to the pace of a BBW with slurry. It feels kinda smooth more velvety than anything. It also has tiny little hard inclusions that I don't think affect anything.

    Just brought three 10x3 of them and I will see if there is any difference between them and my old one.

    Wow great find / thread. I didn't think I'd find decent hones being 'hewn' 50 miles from my hometown. Ordered!
