I noticed an interesting item on eBay that had a real serious bidding war going on...

for something called:

Straight Razor Sharpening Stone Gator Rock Hone Box
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=330104577546

It looked like a piece of that myhtical naturally formed Belgian Yellow & Blue Coticule. The bidding war ended at US $110.99. I guess if that was the "real McCoy, then it was an ok price... too pricey for my blood, but maybe for one of the REAL HoneMeisters a worthwhile investment...

Is that what it was?... or was that just another "newbie" bidding war for a piece of $5.00 rock???

I'd like to hear from some of the HoneMeisters... was that the real deal?
