    Default My new HAqcuisitioins!!!

    Hi Guys, Thought I would show off my hone acquisitions for the last month or so.

    First up.

    Pike MFG Co. Sapphire razor Hone - I picked this up because I'd never seen it before and I haven't seen many blue colored barber hones. Name:  $T2eC16d,!zQE9s3stYwPBRmET78,Ew~~60_57.jpg

    Next is a little 5x1 Tam O Shanter that I got for like 20 bucks or so, theres a seller on ebay selling them at the moment seeing as the mine is closed I figured I might as well grab one.

    And LAST But not LEAST I just won this S R Droescher AMBICUT hone. Comes in a nice wooden box and everything, it looks like it is missing the rubbing stone though =/ but oh well I have plenty of those anyway.

    Do let us know how the Pike Sapphire hone performs. I, for one, am very interested to know. Great purchases, by the way.

    I looked at some old threads regarding the ambicut hone. It appears to have a thuringian/escher stone on the reverse side. I say escher as SRD was the distributor for escher hones in america (I think?) but I know they also distributed Hohenzollern as well and other thuringians. Anyway I am wrapped that I paid 39 dollars for a barber hone with a thuringian on the back! lol

    some pics showing the double sided ambicut hones from another thread I found:

    The last pic seems to be identical to the hone that I bought.

    The Ambicuts are very nice hones. The natural stone side comes in a nice light green color and is exactly like my light green escher. Although it doesn't say anyone what the stone is, I would bet on it being the German water hone.
