    Yes they are. I occasionally take mine out of its equally gorgeous designer sleeve just to wet and behold it.

    How about a photo of your hone together with your gorgeous designer sleeve Oldengaerde? I bet we all want to see it now....

    I just might have to reach into the drawer of the work bench and get mine out and give it a spin.

    Hi Guys, glad to see some positive talk about my hones, means a great deal that you guys are happy with them
    Lynn, it would be great to hear your personal experience with the Silkvein, I've been dying to know what you really think and how it performs for you...

    Maxi, please PM me to discuss.

    Thanks again guys,
    - Mike

    Ditto on that one! I haven't danced with my little lady in a while and need to revisit her. I've been on the synthetics for a while taking care of some things for others and haven't gotten to visit my fun hones aka naturals.

    This is without a doubt the most beautiful stone that I have ever had the pleasure of owning or even using. It's one of those that I will never let go of.

    Pretty short thread, unfortunately....
    It is an older thread though. Are there any owners that have anything to add?
    The stone looks nice for midrange work. Would like to hear a bit more before making a purchase decision.
