Do my own.

Had to send them out initially.

I would send them out to try different finishers to see what I liked without buying and learning a stone I may not like.

After I started honing I’d send them out to test a known good edge against what I was doing occasionally to track my progress.
 
My thought process was if I had a few I’d send them out. Since I now have about 40 I better learn how to hone since sending out will get costly.

I do my own.
