Well I guess its not everyday that a fool breaks his yellow/blue combo hone.
But lots of people like slurries, so I figured someone may as well get use out of this unfortunate accident. I'm surprised that a slurry would need to be generated on the yellow, given just how soft this one was, it should create its own.
So the natural Japanese hones and Tosuke razors are just novelties eh?

Seriously though, I think a yellow coticule slurry stone from Howard is going for around $17 and you're selling combo slurry stones for around that amount. Good deal. As much as I think the yellow slurry can be played with, I think the garnet in the rough with your combo slurry stones is the blue side since blue slurry stones are not found that often if at all and I have REALLY liked using blue slurry on my Belgian Blues. It kicks the cutting into high gear without doing damage to the edge.
I'm glad to see these are being offered. You definitely have something useful here rather than a novelty.
