It broke nearly in half; I can probably use it to lap other stones, but honing on it would be hard unless I was trying to sharpen hobby knives or something.

Broke mine too. Good thing, because then I gave up the barber hone masochism and bought myself a Norton and a couple of pasted bench strops. Many hours saved!
