**Here are the rules**
Those who don't follow the instructions will get moved to the back of the line.

Most stones are free. I'm asking to be paid the cost of shipping and packing materials to make it worth my time. A handful I'm asking for a little money, but less than market. All costs are "total cost to me." I need to cover shipping and packing costs, but you can pay however you like.

Pick one, maybe two if there's something you've been hunting a long time and just can't live without. I'll knock $5 off if you get two, but most shipping expense is by weight. The goal is to spread the love around.

I'm not taking more detailed measurements, use your imagination you savages.

**International shipping**
If you cover total cost of shipping, should be fine for anything except the Thai stones. CONUS only for those.

Also, yes, that's a knife in there too. It's also 4sale, cheep.

**Instructions**
To claim stones: I will cross off stones in the table as they're spoken for. Copy one (or two) entire rows of the table and paste into a KKF Private Message. Put in your PP email and shipping details, including how you want to pay (fees or no fees). Say 'thank you' at the end, and anything else you might have on your mind. :p I'll send you a PP request for the right amount. Thai stones are CONUS only. If your top pick is taken, I'll let you know what's left. I'll ship out over the course of the next week, and let you know when your box is on the way.

Thanks for playing, hope we can find some homes for these!

2 Togiharu + nagura
OK hear me out, I know this is a weird combo, but one of my favorite beginner setups. After I made it through all the starter stones people try, I landed on this, thanks to Bob Tate from Seattle Knife Sharpening (now in Montana). It's a personal favorite, and the nagura helps create a cleaner, toothier edge, fast from the 4k. It's an excellent stone, on both sides, but redundant with my JKI soakers, so....here we go.

OK, the list has been updated for the evening for anyone watching - there are three stones and a knife still available.

If you haven't received a message from me, double check the first post, and hit me up again if anything remaining interests you :)
 
Alrighty everyone, all stones are spoken for (weirdly not the knife). I’m labelling tonight, and will start packing. I’ll message everyone individually when their stone is one the way, and send a PP request at that time. Thanks for your patience in advance, it’s a LOT of boxes.

Stones are addressed and boxed up - will take them to the shipping office tomorrow - will probably need to send them all over a couple days, with some int’l shipping to wrangle as well. I’ll give everyone a message and a PP request on the day your stone ships.

A man learns a few things in his life. How to throw a baseball, how to get comfortable around girls (or boys). He also learns that while it may be noble to ship things internationally, ho boy is it a pain in the rear.

In other news, first round of boxes is out! Second round will go tomorrow, keep eyes on PMs.

And saints really do exist 🙏! Much thanks for taking the time and effort!
 
Y’all are awesome!

Also, if you ended up paying a couple bucks over real shipping cost, just know that it’s going to help fund shipping to the UK and Bulgaria, so everyone could play without getting stuck with an awful international shipping bill. I’m not pocketing anything from this.

Cheers 🥳
 
All stones are in the mail! (except one, turns out Canada is actually a different country in the eyes of the postal service, whomp whomp).

Everyone should have a confirmation PM from me, if you were expecting one, and don’t see it, please let me know ASAP so I can make things right.

Happy MLK day everyone.
