My last 2100 find was at flea market. An old guy with a van full of worn yard tools and such all wire brushed and rattle canned. Rooting through a milk crate, I found an 8” sweep 2100. The reverse...

I have 2 HB8 stones (one in 2 pieces thanks to a mishap) and they are translucent in my opinion. If your Dad will gift it to you you won’t be disappointed in it. And Norton is very proud of these...
