Yes... Send us all some stones!

...or tell us more!

Now you must send me a stone to test so that I can put the added knowledge to the steel...

What size do you prefer?

6-8"x2"...escher size. I find that size more useful for my honing style.

A look to the ancient open quarry:



The inscription on the plate says:

Whetstonequarry

This whetstone quarry was in operation until 1930. The here mined whetstones were exported in the middle ages up to Spain.

The quarry was known already in the 5th to 1th century B.C. - as documented by findings in the ancient celtic settlement on the “Kleinen Gleichberg” near Römhild.

Well get your Ghillie suit and get in there and grab some

I would be happy to test one that looks like an escher

I would love to try one as well in combination with my coticule.

I wouldn't mind trying one, or even a Mercedes Benz or a Ferrari, but my bank balance says I'm going to have to stick with my 2005 Ford Focus ........

If you can send some this way, We'll be glad to take them for a test drive....

Very familiar scenario. Hone with a big name and the quarry itself is just minute.
