Today I opened my frontdoor at 6 a.m to go to work and there was a package laying on the floor in front of the door, on the outside. Huh?
It was from Ardennes Coticules. My BBW!!
^$$$!@#$&
It is literally freezing in Holland right now. The stone layed outside the whole night (I guess). Who did this? The mailman (it's not common in Holland to put mail/ a package in front of a house)? A neighbour with good intentions who answered the mailman?
I was afraid the stone had cracks due to the cold, but I had no time to check at that time. It also could have been stolen..
Finally at home, I opened the package... Everything fine . No cracks, no moisture
So there was a beautiful 200x60 bbw, 5x5 slurry stone (bbw), a nice wooden case and even a sharpening angler. Soon I know what 15 degrees feels like
I told myself I was not allowed to take pictures or do anything other then put it back in the box it came with, since it's a Christmass present for me from my wife.
So at the 25th I will show it, maybe even after the initial lapping.
I allready have my Shiro Kamo aogami2 petty dull ready and waiting for it, can't wait to try it out!
