My opinion is that you should keep it for yourself and that can be the first piece in your hone/stone collection. Heck of a way to start out!!!

C'mon and join us on the dark side... hehehe

Simple solution. Pres edit exchange what you have written for something like "sorry my fault" and send it.

Just looking at dates:
Is it just consequence that you have no SRP registerred history untill you posted your hone on bay and what I consider as advertisement here?

I'd have to assume, from selling a friend's frictionite stones, that the best thing you can do with any small razor hone is make sure the listings can be purchased in australia...

...because the guys who want to use them to touch up an axe will pay a lot more for the stones than anyone using a razor will. At least most of the time. Every stone I got decent coin for went to guys using axes, specifically in australia. The one stone that I didn't open to international shipping (a #00) didn't really sell that well domestically.

Presume that the folks paying $900 for a norton hone are also going to use them on axes during competitions.

The Canadian dollar is stronger than it used to be.

Not to be a skeptic. What stops some dude in china with a computerized lathe from knocking one of these off so often and passing them on for that months gas money?
Not to be cheap, but if you can't do it for 100$ bucks it might not be worth it.
