Thread: ID This Hone for me please

Must not be a Yellow Lake, but i agree with Utopian that there are some around looking alike.

...my guess tend in the direction of beeing a Vosges / Vosgienne....is it a very hard stone ? slurry is Violet slightly brown...

Would like to hear other Opinions and guesses...anybody around from the french hone thread ?...Thaeris, Margeja, Hatzicho, Modine, Piet....

Here was an interesting Thread with no Solution on the topic:

I have a very similar stone, you can see pics of it here http://straightrazorpalace.com/hones...ural-hone.html.
Every time these come up, the debate about it being a Lynn Mellylynn or Vosgiennes comes up. Still to this day i am unsure of its name.
But one tthing is for sure is that stone will never leave me, its a fine finisher, easy to use and its size for honing at 14 inches is quite unusual.

Prom the pictures these two are not the same. However as in original link for yours Martin103 I WAS WRONG. There are purple YLs as well as the name is brand name not the name of the origin.
