    If I had a Devonshire oil stone, I could get several souls for it...

    The rarest in the universe is the one fashioned from the only known chunk of Unobtanium ever to fall into private hands. That's how they honed the famous and rare Triple Duck Razors. I think Jimmy has one of those razors. He'll tell you about it.

    Good luck. I can't believe how much the price of arkies has gone up lately, especially the surgical blacks and translucents. When I bought my 8 x 2 surgical black about 10 years ago, I think I spent $10 at the most.

    Did you read on Dan's Whetstone site where there was a big rumor propagated that the blacks were extinct? I think that might have something to do with it. Dan says don't worry, btw.

    The rarest I've seen is a yellow-green Escher and I only have one in my study collection. It's actually yellow. I also have the standard "celebrated" ones that are green but they're far more common. The yellow-green has that coolness to the touch which Eschers have and is very smooth.
