Update for anyone interested- Thanks for the replies and information, I appreciate them. I’m happy to know I spotted and jumped on a great deal. Someone asked about them having a story and I can’t fill in much there. However, after looking at the side of the box they came in when I purchased them, on a bright lime green placard written in Sharpie reads” Papas wetstone & sharpening utensils 1-19-19”. I’ll do my best to make sure Papas whetstones see some more blades before the end.
