Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

So are these supposed to be great for razors? That article only mentioned woodworking I think. Anyone use one before? What grit?

There was a Charnley Forest hone listed on ebay.co.uk a few months ago as a Charnwood stone. It had a starting price of 34.99 GBP, I can't find the listing to upload the pictures though. It was a very dark coloured stone, in a wooden box, 8 inches long and the seller described it as rare (although I'm willing to concede that many ebay merchants have a different understanding of the word rare than the rest of the human race.) I would have bid on it myself, but the seller was honest enough to disclose the fact that there was a crack halfway down the stone, so I never bothered.
It went through ebay.co.uk at least twice, but I don't know if it ever sold.
For anyone who wants it there is some very basic information here A Guide to Honing and Sharpening Woodworking Tools
Kind regards,
Alex
