Thread: Where can I find a legit Escher Hone?

i asked him...he said that he needs the money right now and will get another similar stone in the future. he has decent feedback...i just have no idea how out of line that price is...or if I should just wait around for a better color. I don't mind the price being a little bit high...just like I said I wanna make sure I'm beyond happy with it and have no urge to "upgrade" later down the line.

I'd only buy one from a dealer in such stones, one who will allow you a reasonable time to return it. And be prepared to pay premium dollar for such. I'd never trust an unknown seller, triple never without fair return policy.

I'm still holding on to the chance that I may find one in a junk/antique/estate deal.

edit as we simul-posted: the more desperate a seller the less you have to pay, but also the more s/o/l you'll be if not satisfied. (because he won't have the money to refund.)

any idea where such dealers exist?

They exist for Jnats. And that's the direction i'd be going if i "had" to have a natural finisher* right now.

You are asking in the right place, but sorry I don't know of any myself. The limited supply is what drives the price. Safest bet might be to get the 20k and just set aside the cash for an Escher to come along, and wait. You might post a WTB in classifieds.

*a legendary natural finisher. I do have Coticule and ZG in house. (and synthetics)
