First let me be clear, H.A.D. is just not a concern. I view hones as a means to an end. Period.

That being said, I have a nice little 2-sided "Amaloid" barber hone that I picked up a few months ago, but since then, I've acquired a full set of shapton glass hones up to 16k and made myself a CrO pasted balsa bench hone.

I'm currently in the process of selling off a few things I don't really need. (trying to recoup some of the expense of a set of shaptons)

Do you guys think there is any real reason to keep the barber hone?
