Pike Dual Grit Razor Hone
I scored this Pike dual grit razor hone a few weeks ago for quite a bit...................a whopping $23.95 plus shipping which was total under $30
But wait, if you would have acted at the right time you could have won this one, & could have gotten two for $365.00 plus shipping because it was broken in two pieces! The listing said cracked........hmmmmm

As I recall Pike made them and Norton bought them out still using the name for awhile.

I kinda feel sorry for the guy that won it. He only has a feedback of (2) so he's new. He must have been lurking around on eBay & saw some of those going for a high price & his money was burning a hole in his pocket but if I had his money, I would have bought the 12" one a guy has had on there several times. This guys grandfather was a salesman for Norton.
I have a good sized Hindustan that was broken but I got it for cheap over a year ago. I CA'd it back together & my razor friend took it to his shop & lapped it on one of those lapping machines. After I CA'd it back together & let it cure for about a day or so, maybe less, I tried to break it apart but it took very well. It is a very fine, smooth stone & I haven't really used it but it would probably make a nice finisher. You can't even tell it was ever broken! I'll give it a test drive one of these days.
The buyer of that broken one could probably CA it back together & have a good hone but he paid way too much for it!
