question about hone
The shown stone is too coarse in my opinion, the Regal/Winner is a finer one....the visible parts of the mixture are too big to be a fine stone in my opinion....thats my Winner the backing is white and Winner is stamped inside

It is 2" X 5 1/2" As for the original thickness was probably about 5/8 ". It does seem to have a slightly waxy feel

The look and size and waxiness is right for a Skute barber hone, made by AM Hone Company. Original thickness would have been 9/16"
They are made from emery, wax, and a pigment to dye them. The coarse side is 1F emery and the fine side is 4F emery if I remember correctly.
You can use them dry, with cold water, or cold lather. Hot liquid will melt the wax.
When they get too smooth, you wipe them down with a little bit of turpentine - which is also a good test to see if it is a skute.
Being emery, they are fast cutters so 4 or 5 strokes on each side should refresh the blade up to about the 20k-30k level.
Google should be able fill in the details of them that I can't remember at the moment.Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead - Charles Bukowski

The Skute barber hone test from which you quote w/ a bunch of info and pics:
SKUTE Barber hone test
Doesn't look like the one you have in your pic, though, Tony A, so I remain skeptical that it is a Skute.Last edited by Siguy; 07-29-2014 at 10:25 PM.
