bent stones?

[zanussi01]

Hi everyone,I recently purchased two Randalls,a model 28 and a model 26.The stones with these each came in a little plastic bag as the sheaths dont have a pocket on them.

As I was sorting my collection I noticed that both of the stones were bent.

When I put a straight-edge along them,the gap is about an eighth of an inch!One is slightly more bent than the other,but both are nowhere near flat!

I'm not to worried as I wont be using these stones,I prefer my little diamond plate anyway.

Does anyone else have bent stones?

What could I do with these?

Why would they be bent?

Any and all help much appreciated,thankyou.-Jay

Wish I had something to enlighten, but I have never heard of that. I think the stones are man made possibly molded from a grit medium? Bart

I have several stones that are worn from sharpening and it might appear they are bent but really just worn.

Get rich selling 'em on eBay as rare and unique - or, send 'em back to RMK and ask for replacements...

They are made in mexico now.

Do you mean this?.
I do not think that is important.
This stone is a #28 recently purchased.

Hi Llasi,
Yep,just like that one!! As to why,who knows!

I'm not to worried as I use a little DMT Diamond plate anyway.

Its not important anyway and like MP says i can send them back or sell them on.

Thanks for the pic._Jay

Just take your diamond stone and under some water.... flatten it back out.

Man made stone very common.
