    Default czek Rozsutec stones

    Hi, everybody, Do you know Rozsutec stones? I tink it' smilar to belgian Blue stones.
    I found it on www.dick.biz, and they tell me "The Rozsutec-Stones are about 6000 Grits"
    Since it's very cheap, and here in Italy is very difficult to find norton 4k-8k, i was tinking to buy one of those czek stones.


    For finishing sharpening, what else I need?

    A Barber hone like this?

    A strop with a buffing compound?

    A finer Stone?

    Welcome aboard. For finishing I'd recommend a Belgian coticule or a thuringen. They would be a natural step up from 6000 and they would give you a great edge. They stones and the shipping must be dirt-cheap in the EU

    Tank you, have you got any good address or website to tell me?

    I know a few for belgian stone, but they are still very expensive, over 100 euros

    Any source for Thuringen stone? I know this is a really good stone.

    I would go for the 2nd one the " Natural Whetstone " the pricing is pretty good for the 8"x2", just check the shipping though...

    It is supposed to be a Thuringen comparable to the ones sold elsewhere, not sure of the exact grit...read some of the threads here on them..

    Good Luck,
    Neale

    The first one is probably not a Belgian stone. I have two stones that look like that and they are not Belgian.

    The second one might be a Thuringen but maybe it is not.
    If it is then it is probably between 6000 and 8000 grit.

    I would buy the second one and then buy a paddle strop pasted with abrasive pastes. The 1.8 boron carbide and the 0.5 micron chrome oxide pastes from www.handamerican.com
    would be my choice.


    Just my two cents,

    I think on a German site I read they are similar to Arkansas stones.
