I didn't mean to misspeak. I just don't know very much about CF hones, and not nearly as much as I know about some other things, where the value of what is being offered is very clear to me. Frankly, if it's a great stone and cool to look at and use, then $150 is no problem. I mean, there's people out there bidding $300 for a broken Dubl Duck! $150 for a cool hone isn't that crazy.
