X10!
Wasn't at the event, but I talked with Ron at length on one occasion. I have his BH sharpener, ceramic stones, and some of the natural stones on the site. Top-shelf in every way. (The man and the products!)
I've got a review of their new Ceramic Stones in the works. I'm trying to jimmy-rig a USB microscope so that it's more than just subjective. I like objective.
There was a thread not too long ago titled something like "You gotta try KME's new stones"...and the subjective part is that I agree.
I can get behind what they put out (product and service) 100%.
