Apologies for a slight hijack, I'd be as interested as the next man to find out where this stone came from but I have to ask, where the bloody hell do you people keep finding these mysterious and exotic stones? I've taken a chance on a couple of ebay unknown stone lots and ended up with real dogs, so please put me and a lot of others out of our misery and reveal the sources. I don't just mean the original poster, there are a few others here who seem to have a knack for finding special stones, surely one of you can help the rest of us out. Please? Pretty please?
Kindest regards,
Alex
I do not even dare to ask, but this is in deed a very good question.
Sham thats a nice piece of rock.
But I have no clue either what it could be.
Sham is for sure the king of finding a ridiculous amount of hones that turn out to be winners.
Not that you were serious, but I guess the fact that it's a very hard stone rules out Eschers/thuringians.
Is there any chance it's a huge chunk of those old "Kosjer" coticules, that apparently aren't really even coticules, that are supposedly really really good (like the one for sale in the classifieds right now toward the top)?
This one came from the bay, titled VICTORIAN ANTIQUE BARBER SHOP RAZOR KNIFE SHARPENER box in Collectibles > Knives, Swords & Blades > Accessories > Sharpeners. This was the ad text:
Just got three bids. Shipping costs were as heavy as the item itself, and I bid accordingly - thus only making me responsible for running up the price...Quote:
Fresh from an old upstate new york estate comes this terrific, rare antique boxed sharpener out of a vintage barber shop. Porcelain knob handle, great detail along wood box base. Measures about 9.50" x 3.50" x 3.50". Very nice original finish and patina on the box. Buyer pays $15 shipping in US on this heavy item. Much more for overseas shipping. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER ITEMS ON EBAY.
Sorry for that Randy/Sham!
Oldengaerde you don't have to be sorry.
Every penny i have spend on this stone is worth it.
To be honest i had no idea what i am doing. (usually i don't as a result waste a lot of money)
But by doing this (risk)sometimes you really get very rare nice stones. unusual ones.
I have checked any name etc nothing in the box . it does have great box too. it is really heavy.
No 100% sure about it. check the edges it seems like when it brakes down very very sharp edge forms. if you touch with your finger it will cut.Quote:

Does it put a better edge on razors than your nakayamas?Quote:
