Diamond hone

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I figured this was the best place. I was watching PBS' "The Woodturning Workshop with Tim Yoder" this past weekend and caught the segment entitled "Sharpening". It explained why to use a diamond hone on lathe chisels to keep them sharp and to maximize time at the lathe. The hone fit in the shirt pocket. Does anyone know of a good source to purchase such a hone?

How about a hardware or woodworking store?

Here's a source for reasonably priced diamond stones -- http://www.ellenwoodarts.com/catalog-test.asp -- He also has a very detailed DVD on sharpening carving chisels that some may be interested in as well. I have a set of the diamond stones and they are good quality stones. I'd avoid the Chinese-made ones as they simply don't hold up.
