    I have a Franz Swaty that I got from an old barber friend of mine that was broken. He was cutting hair one day and a guy came in with a little boy. He let the boy run wild and the kid eventually got to opening drawers where the barber kept his supplies. The barber tried to be nice and say don't do that, hoping the father would get the hint but it didn't work. Finally the kid found a Franz Swaty hone and dropped it breaking it in two pieces. The barber lost his temper and told them to leave. Anyway he gave the hone to me and I put the ends on a belt grinder making them flat at an angle, so that they matched well and glued them with epoxy. I laid them on a piece of glass with a rubber band around the sides of it. After lapping it, I can barely tell that it was broken. Sort of like a hairline crack. I glued it to a piece of masonite and It works well. I have used it many times.

    Is the playing of "Taps" along with an honour guard required?
    Sorry to hear about your hone. I'm sure it's in a happy place and feeling no pain.
    Send it to me and I will handle the arrangements...there is a special ceremony that envolves contacting the spirits of Escher and Frankonia and Hidi Wiese...Oh wait...she wasn't a hone...never mind.

    Get some CA, and glue it carefully back together, lap it flat, and use it. Worked pretty well for me with synths and naturals too.

    Yeah, At the very least, you have a bunch of slurry stones and maybe a Barber hone or two....When it's a hone, nothing goes to waste.

    I let a waterhone spend the night out in the shed once, in its bath, and it froze and threw a pretty good chip. After kicking myself, I let the pieces dry out and glued the chip back on. Don't remember what I used, probably epoxy. Lapped the joint smooth and have used it without incident ever since.

    Think of it as mitosis...maybe you can feed them both some coti slurry and they'll eventually grow into big boy hones again?

    Are they subject to PED testing?
