    Default Honyama from website.

    Has anyone seen this site before or purchased this hone and tested it? It's very tempting for me since I am looking for a Jnat and some Nagura stones in the future.

    Is this lower then say Escher grit? I know it's a natural stone and yada yadda, I am just using comparison for discussion. I know of some people that use them and like them after coticule. It seems too good to be true, which in my experience means it's not worth it...

    They must have recently changed their webaddress, it was formerly at dick.biz. Several members including me have used this shop. They have a lot of nice items like wood, horn and even razors.

    Someone over @ B&B posted their experience with one of those stones. For the price, IMHO you can be 99% sure it's not going to be a high end finisher.

    Have you used this stone? Is it worth it to buy as a final polish?

    You're probably right, some of them say they love it though so I thought I'd ask here too.

    No, I only bought some cheap stones from them in the past.

    I think I will pass and just wait for a Nakayama/CF/Big Escher to find it's way into my life. Thanks for all the information, guys!
