Buying Sharpening Stones

[jonnno]

I need some sharpening stones. It's to sharpen a Frosts Mora Clipper so I don't want expensive ones. Anyone any good suggestions as to where's cheap to buy online?

Cheers

A read through British Red's "Five Pound" sharpening thread will save a lot of heartache after stones that might not be great for your system or style of sharpening.
Very good results can be had with mediocre stones and good technique whereas top quality stones in the wrong hands can produce dire results.

Try one of these, folding diamond sharpeners. Great for getting an knive into shape and keeping it in shape in the woods. Use in a similar manner to a butchers steel. Very handy bit of kit.
