Ah yes and similar to the set of oil stones I just received. I should add that have recently found several oddly shaped stones that are really having a great affect on my honing abilities. Two sets were purchased at a sharpening company called Spyderco in Golden, CO. A couple of others were found in a local fellows shop that my brother and I purchased some tools from. Two others a neighbor gave me. He found them at a garage sale last summer. Tis amazing how much those little odd shaped stones help. In the past I have attempted to use a set of miniature steel files that were no help at all. JimJPG40504 wrote:Old telephone fuses(ceramic tubes).
