Where can I find a Norton hone in TORONTO??

[Not4you]

I'd like to get a 4k/8k 8x3 Norton Combination hone sometime soon. Most I have found on the interwebz came with some significant shipping costs due to the weight. They are also very fragile so I am not keep on ordering one that would require shipping.

So I'd like to find a store in the Toronto area that would carry them so I can pick one up.

Thanks B&B.

leevalley! They have great prices on them, and there should be 3 locations in Toronto.

perfect!! I'm having dinner just minutes from one of them tonight!!


I'm looking to start restoring straights as a hobby so I think I will pick up the 220/1000 and 4000/8000 plus I have a RupRazor strop (the Filly) that has a rough side treated with 0.5 micron chromium oxide. I think I should be all set with these tools.

Leevalley also sells a synthetic 'flattening' that I think is also by norton (although it doesn't say online) that would be useful for the norton stones. Only thing is the 'flattening' stone is best for synthetics like the nortons, and if used a lot needs to be flattened itself! otherise it's a good price if you only need a lapping stone for the nortons (from what I hear it's pretty quick). Enjoy!
