If you are like me on the look out for vintage hones then be on the lookout for a few Creative auctions. A few eBay sellers have began putting the word “razor” somewhere in the title, possibly and attempt to draw the bids of inexperienced vintage “hone hunters”.
At first I thought a few were errors or the seller “don’t know anything about these” but it is becoming too easy to find these “errors”?.. Here is one example.
Not only is this stone an ordinary double grit Silicon Carbide sharpening stone (absolutely no use for razors), it is also in desperate need of a good lapping (and maybe the seller is in desperate need of a good slapping for suggesting “curved” as if that’s a good thing).
