Is there anyone from Eidsborg, Norway?
I am hoping some kind sole could collect me a couple of small sample of the natural whetstone from the quarry there. Can post some swaps or come to
other arrangement. TIA from Australia

Eidsborg whetstones
From a cursory google, it looks like Eidsborg is a fairly small place. Whetstones haven't been exported from there since 1950. What about whetstones
from Eidsborg in particular interests you?

lying around.

Apparently, one of the longest continuously traded products from a single source.
Significant from a social/historical context rather than from a geological perspective.
