    Default Anyone with more than 100 sharpening stones?

    Hi,
    Forgive me if this is wrong place. Do you know any hone collector who has more than 100 different sharpening stones? I was talking to a member on ebay and he told me he has. I don't know how many of these stones he tried but he showed reluctance taking photos telling there are so many..

    I don't want to go into personal details, but I think he is not lying..

    Cheers,

    I haven't counted but since I'm packing for a move in a few days I've been packing up most of my hones. I must have well over 100 barber hones and probably 50-75 other hones. I know of a few other individuals at least equally afflicted but I'll leave it up to them to confess.

    And yes, some day I will do as Nun2Sharp has asked and I will photograph all of the barber hones!

    Over 100 with ease and that was before I purchased 75 barber hones from one source and then another 11 from the same about 3 weeks ago.
    Oh...just received 2 more Ebay hones today.

    Based on what you brought to Asheville in 09 I'd say you have over 100 hones......in each color.

    Post #15 of this thread has a poor photo of my favorite. It's a Nakayama Asagi that is oddly shaped.

    Post #14 of that same thread shows most of my coticules and they are all my favorite too!

    DAMN! those coticules are really something, congrats on the extremely impressive collection. I think that extra thick cracked looking one is really unique looking.

    That thick one with all the cracks is also one of the hardest ones I have. In the recent thread started by Hi_Bud_Gl entitled something like "How to use a coticule," I posted a test that I did to compare slurry production among my coticules. That thick one took the longest to create a slurry and it was minimal, but it is an excellent finishing hone.
