The most wanted hone or stone is????????
The stone that sheathed Excalibur. The edge was wicked sharp. :)

Not to show off my nerd badge, but the sword in the stone wasn't Excalibur. Excalibur was given to Arthur by the Lady of the Lake.;)Quote:

Rarest:I don't know, but neither does the guy who has it.
Most sought after: A 2 dollar thuringian stone with a label on it...Which several people have found, and continue to find.
Most wanted: That depends on the the person who wants it, and how much they want it. But nobody can really measure how much a person wants something, unless they tie a dollar amount to the "wanting". And then other things like income will come into play.
Tough question man. I don't think it can be answered without some pretty rare, valuable, and sought after statistics.

I wear my nerd badge proudly.:)
The hone I am currently selling :p
It may not make a difference but I WAS stoned when I watched Excalliber! Lol
15K Welsh hone I just bought off ebay. Only a handful have ever been on offer on the bay.
Your nerd badge does shine brightly. :bow :bowQuote:

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.
The one I cannot find for cheap ( <$20). Currently a 8x2x1 Arkansas Surgical Black.
:)
wow this thread went side ways quick i would like to own a cutters green stone
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

I need one of those
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.
No pics so you can say it didn't happen but I saw a Nakayama Asagi in the shape of Mt. Fuji. That's gotta be rare.:)
For me its very simple, its a labelled "Magog Oilstone"
I'm agree with Craig ( Eleblu05), the most wanted is surely the Cutler's Greenstone from Snowdonia area, there are also Water of Ayr, Special Stone or Moughton Whetstone that are rare.
One's for sale on the bay.Quote:

What a country.
There is a rumor going around on the net about a "Chronik-stone" that was mined on the dark side of the moon.
Apparently the frictionite hones are now worth a fortune.
.....kicking himself for selling one for $40 3 years ago.
It's mine I tell ya, Mine, all mine.....
