Thread: I think this is brown Thuri...

Does anyone can confirm if this is a brown Thuri?

It looks like the fox hone... No such thing as a brown thuri... But I could be wrong... As long as it works well

Looks like you got all the mac and cheese off it :<0)

Yes it does look like a Fox hone, they were boxed very similar to your. The slurry looks like my Vosginne hone here. Do you have a photo with the slurry washed off?

It should be a good finisher post 8K, use a lite slurry and dilute to clear water.

Nice find.

I think you are guys right, on the opening side of the box it mentioned once Fox and some German descriptions calling for Wasser....

Your edges will be as sharp and cunning as a fox!

WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY?

The only Fox hone I've seen is the Fox 44, and they look like yellow green Eschers. Has anyone seen a brown Fox hone?

Mostly these stones were sold as Goldfisch Wetzstein/Fox Razor Hone...there were examples were the Fox Label was just glued over with the Goldfisch label here:

I got a other one which i guess is the same stone also sold under another label:

In my thinking ist more a dark red stone then a brown one...the question is if that stone was cleaned/lapped completely if not the colour could be more brownish probably as used with oil...Stone is also known as Pierre Lorraine Rouge/Rouge Du Salm more is explained at Henks Grinding and Honing Part 4, Pages 47/48...

As there was a thinking on the Vosges / Vosgesienne / Vosgienne stone more can be found on the french hones thread:

Lap with a fine grit plate I finish on a 1200 DMT and raise a light slurry and dilute with drops of water when the water is clear, then add 2-3 drops of Smith's Honing Solution a water soluable oil. Smith's will not stain or harm your stone.

It will give you a very slick feel on the stone. Do 15 - 20 laps on the Smiths for a very nice polished finished edge. I have shaved off the stone or stropped on Chrome Oxide or .50 CBN.
