    I know that!
    Truthfully, it was a poorly thought out purchase, thinking back now, there was a half crazed half in the bag limited informed guy sitting in the dark staring at a screen and hoping to turn lead into gold.

    There are many hones of many types that have no common naming solution. I have a few with a permanent squeaky pen notation on the end as to what grit they are.
    The only test is a razor with a known grit finish. If the razor improves, then it is a good hone..if the razor gets worse, then it is added at an earlier point in the sequence. If it chips the razor, then is the time to make a brick outhouse.

    Good luck, In my poor eyesight it looks fairly smooth at least 6K or better.
    Cheers

    Looked at the listing. I have an Escher of those dimensions so try the stone out. I also have a couple of unknowns that size from England...I think. I bought a selection at a sale of a English emigrant's antiques.
    If Brown it could be a Silkstone or a Vois****.. from France.

    Well, when you get it, get some good pics out in the sunlight. With slurry, wet and dry.
    Some of these guys are really good at ID'ing those. Trade ya for an India stone!

    Think positive! It may be something good!

    If it were something good, we could serve Tarkus some crow pie!

    OH! I see Piet looking on! He will know!

    Default OK, end of thread

    I just found out it was cut from a chip off the Ten Commandments. Whew, that was a close one.

    Seriously. Don't end the thread upon buying something without experience. It could be your lucky day. The thickness of this intrigues me, as Kees posted one inch, but I cannot see the thickness mentioned otherwise? I suppose It was in the listing which I did not look at! We have all seen old natural stones cut and finished with precision.
    I am wondering if it is not a Thungarian. We need you to carry on this thread as you recieve the stone! Inquiring minds need to know! (so Darl can get his pie!)

    Oh! No pie for Darry! I just went and looked!
    India! Good for knives! Show us anyway!
