    Default Picked up a couple of hones this weekend

    I put a want add out for sharpening stones and got a bite this weekend. I picked up a nice coticule and what I think is an arkansas oil stone. The coticule has a very white slurry and should work well for me. It is 1 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches. The other stone was very dirty and once I cleaned it off it has a fairly aggressive feel to it. Here's some picks.

    I have a stone that looks like your Arkansas but to tell the truth I'm not 100% sure. The one I have is in around the 6K range.
