It seems like there is a decent bit of interest for another run of these... lets try to get a list together and get some ordered. If you're interested, please post here and we will contact you shortly. If you have already posted your interest, i will ask that you post again below, as it will make keeping track of things a lot easier. The set includes 1 1000 grit diamond stone, 1 6000 grit diamond stone, 1 stone holder, and 2 nagura for $300 (including free domestic shipping via USPS Priority... international shipping is available at an additional cost).

Here are some links to previous posts about these stones for those who are interested:

If you have any questions about them, please dont hesitate to ask.

I would like to get at least 10 of them... if we go over that, it should be fine, but i cant do much under that.

So, just to cover some basic questions we've got so far:
  1. The payment for these stones will be handled in the following way... when the order is placed with us (by the customer), we will collect 1/2 of the total (i.e. $150 per set). When the payments are recieved, we will place the order with the company who makes them. Once they come in, we will charge the remainder (i.e. $150 per set), plus shipping charges for international orders. For international orders, we will get you a shipping quote before any payments begin.
  2. The timeframe is generally about 4-6 weeks from order to delivery
  3. We will not be splitting up sets unless there is a buyer for each part of the set (i.e. one person wants only and 1k and the other person wants only a 6k)

So far, the list of people interested in ordering is as follows:
  • lancep
  • smurfmacaw
  • V1P
  • El Pescador
  • doug
  • jdt40

I will leave this open until we get a bit closer to 10 people... i will also be responding to PM's later today and tomorrow
 
This is what we are looking like now from what i can see... i still have a lot of people to get back to, so bear with me for a bit longer, but we have more than enough to wrap this up. I will leave this open for a bit longer, while i take time in getting back to peoples questions. Once we have that all done, we can get these things ordered.

How is the shipping to down under looking like? Let's say to Sydney.
 
I was curious if the stone holder is the JKI/Suehiro No. 32 stone holder (without the base)? In the 2014 thread it references a video, and the only vid I can find on youtube by Jon is for the 300A stone which is the sink bridge/stone holder combo.
 
oh yeah forgot, I am in - splitting a set with chinacats. 6k is mine!! :knife:
 
I am interested in a set.

Are the dimensions the same as the 300A? Per your website - "200×75×25㎜ (the actual diamond stone plate is ~5mm thick)"

Will you be collecting payment through your website? If not, how are you collecting payment info?

not particularly great, but maybe if there are enough australian buyers, we can send one package down there and save a bit on shipping. Anyone else from Australia interested?

no... its a different kind of stone holder. It clamps from the sides... see here:

the dimensions are a bit different from the 300a stone... 200mm x 74mm x 16mm... the diamond part is about 1.5-2mm thick

payment will be collected via direct invoicing (using paypal)... this is all conducted via e-mail

Thanks. Just for the sake of clarity, I am in for a set.
