Is there somewhere already in Australia though?
Or some locals who like to deal?

Not at Amazon prices - US$ 120 for 2 stones is pretty hard to find down here.

Default Nortons in Australia

Nortons stones are available from Lie-Nielsen Toolworks Australia | Norton Waterstones
They are located in Austrlia, and are quite reasonable when you compare the exchamge rate and shipping.

There's also mcjing.com.au there are very helpful, and have diamond pastes etc.

Enjoy.

i got a strop off damon in the forum here, very nice, he pastes a side for you if you like.
the razors are cheaper shipped from straight razor design than from mensbiz.com.au, that's what i did.

Good point - the Aussie Dollar will soon be called the Aussie Half Dollar.

Actually, looking at what's happening to the US dollar, you might have to call it the Aussie Quarter!

For razors, you could also look at the classifieds. I shipped a razor to Australia once. Shipping wasn't too expensive, as I recall. I didn't hear back from the buyer, so I don't know how long it took to get there, but I think it's safe to assume it did indeed get there.

the real issue is paying for something in the us, then the conversion, and shipping, would be nice to locate more people in aust really and see if any sell, and that sort of thing, and I'm sure if look carefully enough might even find someone not so far away, but just gotta see if someone here happens to fill all that..


thanks for all the help guys, I think found out where can get a stone thats decent enough here in australia, but now to keep looking for something cheaper or local.

GA! that was the fax number! 20 not 30 for tele, thanks tho.

Sadly they are heaps more than from lie-nielson, and they don't have combo stones either.

but thanks!


I'll keep looking more too tho, I wander if the knife king shops would....

Oops! copied & pasted that off the net. I bet they miss some calls.

I know Knife Kings does Spyderco stuff if you're interested.
