In his excellent book, _The_Complete_Guide_to_Sharpening_, Leonaard Lee describes a "carver's hone" on page 97. The hone has 600x paper on one side and a leather strop on the other side (charged with green Chromium Oxide). I thought this item would be fairly easy to find but now I'm not so sure. Is this one of those items one must purchase as "parts" and assemble at home?
This link is the closest I can come. Any suggestions for a specific brand/type of paper to attach? I'm guessing one of the mylar-backed papers.
