I think Jimmy and Sham attracted me to Eschers.

I'd have to say I put more time in on my Escher's than any other finisher, maybe that's why I prefer the edges I get off them. They are silky smooth. It's hard to remember when I first shaved off one, but I'm sure it took some tweaking, I doubt I got it out of the box as they say.

I think Escher has a place in everyone's honing arsenal, like Coticule. Those are two stones that imo, are a right of passage. I also like the Nostalgic aspect of Escher, which is part of the reason I got into this hobby. These old time stones, with the old labels on them are cool, collectable and still functional. I bet E&Co never imagined that people would be paying big bucks for them today.
