This is only second hand, but on B&B this vendor has been mentioned several times with no overt positive or negative comments. The stones themselves are quit polarizing. Some love them, many find them a bit lack luster YMMV. Again only second hand as I dont have one, but I did do some research at one time.

Thanked: 227I have one of those stones, from that vendor, and as far as it goes for me it does a decent job of refreshing my blades now and then.

Good stone, good seller, he's a straight shaver and laps the stones satisfactorily. Go for it.

Minor thread resurrection here:
I just recently bought one from this seller and I'm very happy with it.
BIG HUGE CAVEAT:
So far, I've only touched up one or two edges with it and I'm not very good at honing. However, I'm having a hard time imagining a better value for the money spent here.-Zak Jarvis. Writer. Artist. Bon vivant.

Thanked: 15I bought one of his chinese hones. It does a good job, but you can get a bigger one from Woodcraft for less than $40. I got one of those also, and it is a good stone.

I have bought two of those from that seller. One 175x50mm and a 8x3". The 8x3" is really fantastic and a great finisher, the smaller one isn't that good. Both needed a lot of lapping before they were flat.
But a good seller for sure, no issues at all.
