BUYING NORTON HONES ??

Found this source for Norton hones, Think seems a good deal $76.50 [ US ] including shipping. their prices quoted in [CAD].
European Hand Tools - Importers and distributors of the finest quality woodworking tools from Europe

I don't know what the shipping would run but The Perfect Edge has 4K/8K Nortons listed for $65.00.

When I started honing my razors, everybody told me that Norton makes the best hones to learn with. They also told me that if you are buying the stones to occasionally hone your razors, these were great. I bought mine and I am satisfied If you are set to buy Norton, this is perhaps the best deal you can get (+/-): Amazon.com: Norton Waterstone Starter Kit: 220/1000 grit stone, 4000/8000 grit stone, SiC flattening stone: Home Improvement

In addition to the 4k/8k hone the set comes with a 220/1k hone (for setting bevels and those wonderful Ebay special restores) and a flattening stone.

Al raz.

Many thanks for posting that link. You just saved me a bunch of money!

Here's another source one can get a decently priced Norton set:

Norton Waterstones

I just bought these Nortons off Amazon...they were delivered in about 5 days and was only $125 for the entire set (220/1000 grit stone, 4000/8000 grit stone, SiC flattening stone).

I just finished sharpening my pocket knives and am now gearing up to do my first razor. So far I am very happy with them...
