Good evening gentlemen.
I have a question, I would love to get my hands on a Norton combination stone 4000/8000 after reading how fantastic it is. Pedalpowersailing has been extremely generous in offering to send me a dull ebay razor to practice on and i would like to start with the norton. The thing is, i live in Scotland, and I cant seem to find a seller this side of the pond....
Does anyone know a good place to buy one from?
Part two of my question. If i fail finding the Norton, can i use a blue and a yellow cauticle or will i be honing for hours and hours with them? I don't see myself doing much restoration work, but some. i want to get my kitchen knives up to scratch also.
please see the link to the belgian stones i was thinking of. prices in euros seem extremely tempting, cheapest i have found sofar

perhaps i am missing something and these stones are not what they seem....
Thanks for any advise anyone can give me.
