No chips, cracks or breaks of any kind and doesnt even look used to me. Were the Swaty hones used in barber shops and by barbers? Any info is as always appreciated :D Hone even contains the original paper with the Swaty guarantee and honing directions included as well. Pretty neat to have I assume.
