Evaluating hones help

[janivar123]

as one of the newer members i still wonder(and notice others asking the same question)
are there any cheap hones out there that really work?
is there anyone out there willing to rewiev a couple of Taidea stones?
5k and 8k (i can even send them to you if your willing to try)

There about the cheapest option out there so i think they deserve a Yay or Nay

I got Naniwa's on my list so i wont need them back

I hadn't heard of these before. Here is their website. I see they have a 400/1k and a 3/8 combo. Have you tried them yourself ? With you being in Norway perhaps there is a member nearby who could try them and assess their performance ? Maybe the next big thing.

IMO, hones isn't somewhere to skimp on money. The price difference between cheap hones and really good hones is not substantial, you, if you stick with it, you're likely to buy better hones later on anyway. If you decide it's not for you, you can always resell them for a small loss.

well i have tryed them (i get better results skipping the 8k and just finishing on a barber hone)
but i have no experience honing exept getting lucky a couple of times

I really dont mind shipping worldwide and would like the word of someone with a bit of experience

BTW its the set open_razor has on the bay

Edit: im not keeping these but for another noob these can look werry tempting
