I was looking up whetstones today, I thought, "Wow, a thread about it on
the PDML". I am somewhat disappointed.
In case anyone is interested, I discovered that black arkansas stones
are again pretty much available again. And that there is something
called translucent arkansas stones that are supposed to be even finer
grain (However the major supplier of them claims there is no real
difference between a hard, black, and translucent stone; but does charge
more for the black and a lot more for the translucent).
How's this for staying on subject while going off topic?
