How do you explain this?
Am i missing something ? is this somekind of fabulous swaty?
looks like a common pike swaty usually around 20 to 30 dollars?
It had to have a very high reserve? one bidder?
Vintage American Pike Swaty Straight Razor Sharpening Knife Hone Stone | eBay
yea someone things grandpas old hone is worth way more than it is lol looks like a run of the mill barberhone to me,
That sure looks fishy . Maybe the winner put in a hi bid at the start and someone else kept bumping them up ???
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Wow, i have seen the swaty hones go for more then expected (or then what i would pay) but this one takes the cake
Somebody really wanted a pike swaty guess they care enough to search for more as swaty like this one are always available for a fraction of what he paid for..........Originally Posted by Brighty83

Believed it or not a bought 3 swaty one was a pike at an antique store in the kitchen area they believed they were

No, I have it on good authority that, having depleted the stocks of the norton hones, the Aussie Axe Men are moving on to Swatys now. The reason they targeted this one was the name "Pike", which the Aussie Axe Man knows has a relationship to Norton. Mark my words, you will see this more and more in the coming years.
James.
At least with vintage naturals, I understand that there is a demographic which 'needs' a particular stone. Like Rabbis who are required by their religion to use them. Or Japanese toshigi who finish their swords on them. I get that. Dwindling supply, unchanged demand -> prices go up.
Playing the same game for synthetic stones is just asinine.
Especially for the purpose of honing an axe.
