WTB BBB stones. All grits.

[Naftoor]

I should do something logical this holiday season, like take the time to photograph and measure my collection so I can prune it.

But that sounds like the opposite of hoarding knives and it sounds like effort. I also sharpen 1-2 knives every 2-3 months, so OBVIOUSLY that means I need to chase the nuclear dragon for stones.

So instead, I’ll put this up to see what’s out there. Thread title says it all. In my inane journey to find non-dishing stones it seems these are the GOAT. Unfortunately I’m also terrible at online sales.

BBB/triple B stones, 400, 1000, 3000, 5000. Uncracked, otherwise pretty open to conditions. It sounds like they don’t corrode like diamond plates do and it’s close to impossible to wear them out as well.

Working on contacting FSK, but in the interim bumping is easier

Any luck reaching out to them?

In the off chance you do get in touch with them, we should all do a group buy to increase the chances he sells to us

i have done some work on contacting them to do a group buy but no luck
i have used their contact form. i also managed to find an email address for them which wasn't on their website.

only thing i haven't tried is calling them since i don't speak japanese.
