    Default Moughton Whetstones

    I've got a few bits which I'm happy to swop, take a look. (The big bench stone I'm keeping, but everything else is available), clockwise from the bench stone, numbered 1 to 6, tealight candle is in there for scale. Stones 1, 4, and 5 are 4 to 5mm thick, the others are nearer 10 - 15mm thick.



    What choo got? Seriously, I'm open to offers.

    Eleven thousand is the grit level I've seen online.

    Apologies for lack of scale, but it's the same sized tile as picture 1

    As for what I'm after, a three quarters length thermarest, right handed spoon knife, I'd love a drawknife too if there's one kicking about, but I'm open to any offers.

    Hello, I just thought I'd let everyone know that I did a little trade for a couple of these stones and they are fantastic! Not only are they gorgeous and very well flattened so they are ready for use but they work nicely too. Nick and I performed a flawless swap that went very well through the mail service.

    Any of these take your fancy? What model of spoon knife is it? I've got a shallow double sided one which i don't get on very well with.

    I can't believe folks haven't been triping over themseles trying to get one of these stones! These are possibly the rarest stones available and very sought after in certain circles. for the record I'm using mine to sharpen broadheads for my upcoming waterbuffalo hunt and it's working very nicely indeed.
