I don't have any pictures, because I hadn't decided to buy it yet (may go back Thursday to buy it..I doubt it's going anywhere), but it's rough. After I get it lapped all the way down, it will probably have 1cm of BBW and 2-3cm of Coti left on it. It's only $15. Will I get any real usage out of it?

Also, can I use a pocket-sized carborundum 103 as a Slurry stone? I have 3-4 of them, and I would be happy to relegate one to slurry stone only. I'm really trying to get into honing, but my furious RAD has sapped my funding, and I'm trying to get in relatively cheaply. I figure if this coti is fine, I can get a king 1000 to set bevels and not have spent more than $40 for my whole honing setup.

Thoughts?
