Thread: Wittex Hone?

    Default Wittex Hone?

    Hi guys,

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience with a Wittex hone available on eBay?

    I hear the razors are out, but maybe they can do this right...

    They also do an Arkansas stone version:

    What do you think?

    Cheers,

    Dave

    The Arkansas looks like a Dan's Seconds Translucent.

    The synth looks like dollar store garbage.

    yeah sorry to say they look like cheap knock offs of the real things made in the USA. Original Arkansas ??? I am sorry to say that there is no Arkansas in Germany

    That is an arkansas stone. It's just small and an imperfect. Cheaper to buy from an American company. I think Sierra Trading Post was where I bought my Dans seconds back when I was testing multiple stones. They were around that price for larger stones (closeout though). They seem to still have some 4" (bigger ones are gone) for <$20 shipped.
