I've been looking at buying a set of hones and have more or less decided on 2 Norton combination stones; the 220/1000 and 4000/8000. But That chews up most of my budget and I'd like a finishing stone rather than a pasted strop.

Lots of people on SRP talk about a Chinese 12k stone. I'm from New Zealand and they certainly aren't available here that I can find. So where do you get them from? Is this the same sort of thing;
