For a quality Jnat you should be looking to buy from someone that actually tests on razors.
I see. I was under the impression that the seller was both knowledgeable and reputable. Perhaps he made a simple mistake. I'm happy to give anyone the benefit of the doubt.

As for the surface of the stone, what do you think? Is there hope, or am I out a few hundred dollars? LOL =)
