    They are MST Thuringian hones: picture and sizes are the same as advertised on the MST site. MST never claimed they are Eschers. Tony Miller imported them some time ago, he may chime in.

    I bought one from Timber Tools. I thought I was buying an escher but was mistaken. It is a thuringian stone that is much softer and faster than my chinese 12k. I bought the biggest one they carry w/slurry stone. I love mine, but I also love my chinese 12k.

    There is a thread out there that discusses the escher/ timber tool thuringian dispute at length. It was also my impression that all eschers are thuringian stones but not all thuringian stones are eschers.

    Hope this helps
