Well I guess HAD started itching since I've been checking out so many hones lately trying to find a new 1k that didn't need soaking and wasn't attached to a 220 side lol. I just bought THIS after...

Ok, now that I got all Shapton owners' attention:

Here's the deal- I had a nice talk with Howard over @ the Perfect Edge. I basically asked if Shapton had any plans to make the glass stones in a...
