I am selling these lightly used (all are in very good to great condition) stones / strops to add towards funding of a newer W.E. guided system, because I've really tried my best with freehand sharpening which I conclusively suck at! All of these items were bought new by me over the past year or so and tried no more than a handful of knives on each meaning that some of these diamond ones may still need to break in even more! I always cleaned the stone surfaces with Bar Keepers Friend after each use. Being used albeit it lightly used, still means that some surface blemishes exist so please review photos carefully and ask questions if unsure as all sales are final, unless not as described!
Terms of sale:
1- Prices are per individually listed items but if interested in more than one, please let me know and I may be able to finagle and haggle a bit more. What you see in each photo is exactly what is offered, no more and no less!
2- PayPal G&S (no gift / F&F) only and shipping is on me (edited to add: free shipping to U.S. ZIPs only). You provide me with your PP address and I will send you an invoice thru PP. Do NOT send me funds till I invoice you!
3- Stake your claim on here first but if you are making an offer, you must PM me with what you have in mind. Low ball offers will go unanswered! Please do not clutter my sales thread with opinion or offers.
Thank you
1- One-sided DMT D8C Dia-Sharp COARSE continuous diamond plate. Approximate size is 8" x 3" x 0.4". Retails around $55,asking $45 SOLD:

4- Fallkniven Diamond / Ceramic Whetstone DC521. This is the bigger brother to the reputable filed stone DC4. Approximate size is: 8.252" x 2.25" x .5". Retails for about $77, asking $60 OBRO:
I used my DC4 to lap both sides (diamond on ceramic only, never diamond on diamond or ceramic on ceramic!!!) because I felt that out of the box both sides were very aggressive and the end result may prove to be much more satisfactory. I like those results on my DC4 (not included!)
^ note that the bottom right corner of the diamond side looks a bit worn off because of my lapping!
5- Spyderco 306UF: Ultra Fine benchstone with pouch. Approximate size is: 8 " x 3" x 0.4". Retails for about $85, asking $65 OBRO:
^ some faint honing marks exist on this side of the UF plate which I could not get totally cleaned off!
