label on box, stone is...what is it?...

"japanese tradition", cheap al-ox or silicon carbide stone similar to what you find for $10.

That's what I thought. The next time you see a nasty woman with a hairy lip and a wart, you can pull it out and say "I've got something for you to shave off that man hair and lift your terrible mood...

RAzors that need a bead blasting are never a good thing!

There's some strange stuff on auctions over there!

I got a "lot" of stones from there once for $58 that had a 2x7 trans in it (a vintage one an inch thick). Unfortunately, the lot weighed 13 kg...

Dan's primitive stones, trans, big and IIRC, about $50.

A thin piece of random trans novaculite from the capital of novaculite - Woodland Hills California....wait, what? $126 plus shipping.

Anyone know who the seller "tradetechschool" is on ebay? It looks like they've picked up stock items japan woodworker had, but with even worse prices. Appalling jnat stuff, just taking advantage of...

☆rare Antique Natural Japanese Whetstone Koma Nagura Slurry Razor Hone 520GR☆ | eBay

For some reason, ebay thinks I should see this stone. Over and over and over over the last 6 months.

Our seller is back. This time with what looks like an MST thuri or some other non-escher stone.

What do you think it might be?...

It's funny that he talks about having to get the stones directly from ardennes. That's kind of dumb. Who else is mining belgian blue stone and selling it as hones right now?

I just ordered a blue...

WE can imagine what they might be. What he doesn't realize is that he's costing himself potential sales if he does something too ridiculous. He might have 10 things, and I might be able to get a whif...

It is, of course, purely cosmetic (the bone color). I favor the stone in this video a lot, it's a strong cutter. I had another one that had fabulous color and was probably middle of the pack in all...

One more worthless story while I'm at it. I once saw a bone colored hard ark stone (my favorite - where's the hearts on this site so I can show how much I love them?). It was on ebay, and the back of...

Different seller and different story - a couple of years ago, I saw a guy list a 8x3x1/2 norton translucent arkansas stone for $179 on ebay.

I sent him a polite message letting him know that they...

That's what we used to call letting them have it with both barrels!!

When a toolmaker gave me my deep rock coticule in exchange for helping him sell some stones (well, plus I gave him my tormek),...

Generally, when you're telling someone you have a coticule to sell them, it is the yellow part you're referring to. You could be selling yellow with a schist backing that has no cutting ability, and...

I definitely do agree with that. If someone wants to pay it and has the cake, good for everyone!

I'm not sure. The coti is only a 5x3 stone. His modern 5x3 is more than I'm asking for a vintage deep rock coti, and I have to admit that asking 2 bills for the deep rock that I have listed makes me...

I think I stepped in a time warp. I thought an 8" belgian blue was about a $75 stone.

Now, if they get too expensive, people are going to start calling them a magic hone.

Ardennens Straight...

Sometimes, you get a look at a razor and say "I'm sure this won't be as bad as it looks". when you look more closely at that one, it looks worse!! Someone will get a nasty surprise if it has a thin...

If ebay brought back some listing fees, it would end this kind of crap. I wish they would.

It's still up for $400. I wonder if the three offers that were made on it were from welders.
