The Norton 4000/8000 waterstone is a favorite among users of this
forum. The price tag on this stone is not for the faint of heart.
Waterstones tend to be quite heavy and most stores send all
international orders by air. Since I live in Canada this
translates in a honing device acquired for much more than the
listed price.

Anyone knows a place who either sells the Norton waterstones
really cheap and ship them by ground or, even better, somewhere
in Canada that keeps them in stock?
