Thread: Bought it, but what is it?!

Yea, I've been suffering with this HAD thing for a while. Ever since I realized that it's really not the razor but the honing that makes the shave, I've been going through hone listings on eBay like Indiana Jones in an Incan burial site. Every stone I see looks like something worth trying, at least until I buy it and get it home -- some of them are worse for sharpening razors than my driveway. Anyway, this one looked shiny and well-cared-for, so I bought it! If that's HAD, then I don't want to be cured!!

I hope you follow-up with more pics and some user impressions when you get it home.... that looks really interesting in the picture.

Good someone here beat me on it I was low bid just for curriosity Looks interesting for sure.

Dwarven, if I get it and can't use it, I will offer it to you first. Agreed that it looks interesting, but who can tell anything from these photos. Anyway, I'll let you know when it comes in. --Jeff

Is that a Jaguar silhouette I see on the top of the hone??? Hmmmm
have a nice weekend.

I would say it looks like stones used for caligraphy. The rest hard to say from the pics.

To me, it looks like a big ol' piece of fudge.

For $12.50 it is worth it just to find out what it is, and is cheaper than going to a movie.

Thanks all for the good info. I have no idea what a calligraphy stone is, but I will look into it while I'm waiting for my package to arrive!

+1 on the above. It looks most interesting.
