Millionth hone id help thread

[aa1192]

Picked a couple of hones up at the flea market. At a buck a pop I figured I couldn't lose. Anyone have any ideas if they are a boon or a bust?

Here is the second one

The first one looks like an abused coticule, but can be salvaged, maybe,,,,any hone is a good hone, it can be used for something,,,,,thanks for sharing them.

Yeah I'm lapping them now def looks like a coticule but the otherside is really strange with a purple pinkish slurry

[aa1192]

Yeah the backside is toast they broke it off and glued it back on. Only the coticule side is usable
All cleaned mostly. By the way does thuringian slurry look grey on your fingers but more whitish on the stone?

Maybe it's a combo? - Belgian Blue & Yellow Coti

No doubt what the first one is, a natural combo coticule. The second one is harder to tell, the pic isn't very good. From what can be seen looks like it might be a thuri.

It's a shame I can't salvage the bbw but for a buck can't complain much

Nice Coti!! The other might be also interesting post some further pictures lapped, with slurry, etc...might be a Thuri candidate....

Any sawmarks visible ?

yes that is a coticule but a natural combo bbw + coticule. great stone that I often use. The natural combo are less common there as the combo later on my coticule glued on bbw and today the coticule is stuck on a slate
the blue side is also used for sharpening

What about lapping the coti about some cm 1-1,5cm...is it possible to get it flat ?
