    Default Shapton 16K and GDLP UNBOXING!

    In the grandest tradition of geeking out over new toys, I give you the unboxing of a fast becoming celebrated set of honing gear. Whoever designed the packaging on these things did a great job. They were a sheer pleasure to unbox and they have been performing incredibly well.

    PICS:

    Pretty boxes!

    Shapton's stones sure do look classy. Personally, I really like the look and smell of my Swaty. Every time I get her out, she makes me hungry; I think she reminds me of a chocolate bar.

    Oh my! This is not good! I am reading and looking and am really, really envious! This could get out of control!


    Nice, nice, nice!

    Take Care,

    You have made a choice with which I agree. I tossed the boxes right after I designed and built this:
