Sorry for that i do enjoy looking at them and using them.

I had to many stones that i didnt use so i decided to make a lawn ornaments out of them!

Oh man what does prevent me from spending too much cash
is the folks who straight up ask to much money for the condition of
the axe they have.
When it's just the axe head i bidding on people need to realize the best
way to ship them to me is too wrap them up in bubble wrap or newspaper.
and put it in a flat rate envelope it's would be fine.

Man yea there ben stuff that i know always bid x amought cause i would always have luck selling x amought more.
So if i had to be at work when it was ending i would just put in a max bid of half what i could have sold the same thing for
in the past. Then i stop trying to resell this stuff. Always thought it was odd that i would profit big time on a select few manmade stuff.
never line up a buyer for a nice fine vintage rock. I now have the opnion that one should bother to sell fast cutting natural stones with a shaving grit. Just not common enought to justify it.

I really didn't need to see this post......sniff.

I need to show this thread to my wife. She thinks I have too many hones.

This is not all of my hones lol. cann't make up my mind on what's my favorite.
I might pick a fast cutting one that's really fine to see how long it would take to set the
bevel on a razor of my and finish all on one stone. Buying this much of anything is truely a addiction
cause i even buy up dirty arkansas stones that need a good cleaning.

Whats bad is when you get a bunch of them, and you've heard they're supposed to be good ...... it ain't that good and you don't know if it is you or the hone. You can't get rid of it because you have to keep trying to conquer it and get the full potential our of it.

Meantime you've bought 3 more and you have to figure them out. Come back to that other one and don't remember what the story was and start over ..... and then 3 or 4 more ........ Kinda like a gerbil running on one of those wheels.

To me looks like a lot of them needs a good lapping!
