For Sale: Norton Waterstones (1000/4000)(4000/8000)

I’m selling my Norton combination waterstones. Both stones are combination stones and contain 1000/4000 grit and 4000/8000 grit respectively.

I’m asking $70 for the pair + shipping. For the shipping I expect they’ll be able to fit into a USPS medium flat rate priority mail box (~$10).

The 1000/4000 grit goes for about $55 new and the 4000/8000 grit for about $70 new. You can see more about them here:

This was my complete sharpening kit for plane blades, chisels etc until recently. Both stones are flat, come with a case/holder, and while used easily have a lifetime of grit left on them.

I’ve used these for sharpening plane blades and chisels and they work superbly. They are quick cutting. I’m only selling them since I’ve got another set, and don’t need two, trying to downsize :)

Please reply to this post if you interested.
