Was there any functional difference between the two labels? I'm still waiting for the roughness from the cutter to come off of this one, to see where it lands in terms of fineness. It has a huge...

I couldn't really think of any reason someone just maintaining a razor would need to use it, other than satisfaction of curiosity.

Not that it matters, but I remembered wrong about the belgian combo, it's a natural combo. It's got a very plain side profile look in the blue, like slate, but the trademark sort of embedded...

I think it is, but it is not nearly as obvious that it's glued as the new ones are. (they have a pore filling kind of grainy looking glue). The line on this one is sort of obscured and uneven, but...

James - you certainly know the owner of the stones. If you're not sure who it is, woodworking and all of the talk about sypdercos should tip you off.

The big ones are 2 1/2 x 8 inches, and the smaller #00 is 2.25x4.5 inches. The super punjab is 2x4 inches.

Couple of more, so that we can read the stuff on the packages. First pictures were nasty, sorry about that. This one has a picture of the little #00, totally unused. The guy who owns them said he...

Since pictures were requested and these aren't going to be for sale for quite a while, here's what arrived in the mail today.

I guess looking at the pictures, I'll need to get some better ones.

Randy - thanks for the summary of what the stones are, in terms of grits, etc.

I just used a $5 razor hone that I got at a flea market yesterday to do the same (not a good one, it just says "BARBER HONE" on it, and it's got a lot of bubbles/pocks in it from front to back, which...

I got mine for tools, at the recommendation of the same guy who has all of these unused frictionites.

I found the same thing for tools, you have to keep after them and keep the surface in a...

The more i use the spyderco UF, the more I like it. It's like pizza, it's great regardless of whether or not you sprinkle stuff on it. Every time I use a natural stone, I look back at the table in my...

I have no problem with off topic. That sounds like a good idea. I've been adding 0.25 diamond and 0.5 diamond to the spyderco from time to time because it's such a good substrate for that kind of...

Well, i'm not going to get a chance to try out the rub stones. They're also NOS. All of that's OK, just seeing the stuff will be neat. I suppose I could try the one used hone before I unload them,...

I'll post pictures at some point, after they've sold (which could be a while). I'm kind of giddy just to see them and handle them, even though I can't use them or sensibly justify buying any of them...

Thanks, i didn't know that about the rub stones. Sounds like I should get one for the spyderco so I don't have to rough it all the way back to a fresh (and brash) surface.

I've got a friend who stashed away frictionites in the 1970s when he was on a tear trying everything he could find to get the ultimate woodworking stone (apparently, HAD isn't a new thing - he...
