Thread: Thuringian bout stones

Just had a re-hone and shave off of my Yellow-green Escher last night. Absolutely outstanding shave as usual. If someone can't afford a fancy labeled stone they should still at least try to get one of these bouts, they are fantastic razor stones. If you can't get a good edge from one of these you are doing something wrong somewhere in your progression.

are they newly mined or vintage?

Vintage end cuts and leftovers from the original mined stones.

Went looking for these and didnt come up with anything. Guess id do some more looking. If they are vintage that would be nice.

I don't see any available anywhere right now, but one just sold on the bay a week or so ago. They are out there from time to time. The hunt if part of the fun. Good luck.

for anyone interested

This guy is usually selling thuri bouts and he gets new ones pretty often it seems. Would check there every week or so if you are looking

Yes that is Peter (Hatzicho) the one who started this thread.

Has nothing at the moment but ill have to keep checking back. Im thinking a bout would be nice for my collection.
Thanks for the link!

It's real hard to do too much with one,, but your new Zulu will give an almost identical edge too. If you get a good one. Tc

How do you use your Zulu? Slurry, water, oil ---------?
