    I would say a barber's hone, but I cannot explain why the two sides are not of an even width along the length. The joint looks more like a natural combo. I'm curious what the gurus will tell.
    I want a lather whip

    Looks a lot like the double duck hone with the sticker on the side in the thread below although the stamp is a different shape.

    Anyway, I would say there is no doubt it is synthetic although it's weird with the un even join. Possibly too due with the process they used to make it..

    It's a barber hone, 2 sided, the two sides aren't even because of the coating, it's not a natural combo, many different companies used a label like the one on the sides.

    A close up of the label impression would help.
