Thread: One stone with a barber hone and bevel set.

They were a lot of these experiments done it the past

What changed was the cost of the old Barber's Hones just 5 or so short years ago the BH's could be found easily on e-bay for $5 - $30 for just about any name hone you wanted in pristine shape...
At that time they were a great deal, and were often recommend, but with time the prices have gone through the roof, so given a choice of where to spend hard earned coin, the recommendations go to the best bang for the buck..

And to be perfectly honest once you hit the 8k level you pretty much have gone above the operating ceiling of any BH
