Thread: Suehiro Gokumyo

Has anyone laid a blade on one of these fine synthetic stones, if so, what do you think of them?

I haven't but I know Birnando has one and thinks it is tremendous. I also think Lynn may own one as well. If you have the bucks, they sound like the goods!

James.

Here's a earlier thread about these hones: http://straightrazorpalace.com/hones...myo-hones.html

I have not tried them, but hopefully I get the chance to test Birnando's at the next meetup. (Or maybe not, suffering of a slight hint of HAD it might get expensive )

Thanks for the link! MV liked them so much he purchased 10 of them....I get it, I like them so much I've looked at them over 10 times.

STOP!! Post no more! My HAD has been in remission for a while and my wallet needs to keep it that way!

Seriously, this rock has my attention more than any natural ATM.

The Suehiro hones are simply put the best I have ever tried.
I have the 15 and 20k along with the new 0,4-2-6k Gokumyo Debado.

I'd rather give up my Asagi's, Kiita's and Eschers before I separate from that 20k

Which vendors have these stones available?

....I know, I am in trouble now...
