You might want to limit this to people who have been here for some time, and who have a specified number of posts or experience level.
As happens with the giveaways, some people only register in order to sign up for the giveaway, and then are not heard of again. Sending a japanese natural to just about anyone will run you the risk of losing it for good. A similar scheme has been used in the past for razor pass-around schemes, and there were some negative experiences.
Also, giving a high grit hone to a complete honing newbie is pointless, because you have to have a decent edge to begin with, or you'll never get truly sharp edges.
Also, you might want to have people ship it directly to each other (if you trust them with lapping) because that would save a lot on shipping.
