Any hardware or cutlery store should sell sharpening stones.

If you want top of the line you may have to go mail order:

What do you consider "Good quality"?
Nearly every building supply store or any hardware store sells them.
Beyond ordinary carborundum stones there are fine Arkansas, Indian or
Japanese water stones as well as ceramic ones available in any of the wood
working catalogs. But be careful for if your experience follows others, when
your wife catches you poring over woodworking catalogs
she may get testy and hard to get along with.

All over the place. Plug "cutlery" and "California" into Google. Many
big shopping malls have a cutlery shop. Also, sporting goods stores,
especially if they sell guns, usually have an excellent selection of
knives and sharpening stones. Restaurant supply stores always have a
wide selection of high quality stones. You may have to make a trip to
the big city.

You got what you THINK is a nice stone for $19.95 at Walmart.

You get what you pay for.

Okay Dimitri lets walk through this.
Yellow pages: wow there is no listings under knives. So lets try
cutlery, there we go. Place calls to explain needs nothing under
85.00 that is worth using on anything other than a pick. Walmart
doesn't carry them and Lowes, home depot and Ace only carry the lowest
of quality that I wouldn't use on a nail let alone a fine piece of
cutlery.

So, what part of Northern California? We're talking something the size
of 6 or 7 east coast states.

You've gotten some really good suggestions on this thread, why are you still
looking for a stone? Where in NoCal are you that there isn't a sharpening
stone to be found? Not jammin ya, only asking.

Heck, I thought you wanted something fancy. If all you want is a whetstone, go
to your local hardware store. They should have several sizes and grits
available.
I use them for all my kitchen sharpening.
