I bet that is an amazing hone. Great work.
I am very appreciative of all the knowledge and sharing each and everyone has provided me with. Look forward to future endeavors with many of you.

Made a stop and grabbed a piece of a thicker layer from that face my previous hone stone came from today today....very consistent colors and layers and fractures in side you can see where it should easily split into 3 very flat layers for easier lapping (I hope). It's a blueish grey colored stone.

May be the easiest stone ever to lap...it had a couple fractures and has amazingly level layering after prying it apart at the fractures. Just gotta make a couple cuts first....going to make some crazy nice bouts I believe!

Thanked: 4828I don't know if you are a good illusionist, but that rock looks very easy to work with. I think this batch is looking good.

Pretty sure I can knock 1 out per hour at this rate though...easiest stone I've worked with...pretty hard material but not insane
