Hi all. I haven't posted much in a while but i had to show of my new find and ask for a little help.
i know we don't appraise hones or straight but thats not what i'm looking for. I truly don't know what it is i have besides the fact that every one always praises the Escher hone and i would like to find out what it is i have.
If some one could chime in that would be great

Yes,,,I've seen these before; it's a PHIG disguising itself as an Escher.

care to explain please

Nice looking Escher! In need of a good lapping, but they are easy to lap, and use it, they are fine finisher, sharp and smooth, Enjoy!

Lap it if needed and have a go, you may want some slurry stone to go with it!

i'm kinda thinking of preserving the value of the stone how would you protect the label?

**Martin103** · 08-31-2013, 10:15 PM

I used clear nail polish on mine, worked fine fully protected.
