Just e-bought a HB6 norton (pike) hard translucent arkansas stone, because I am amazed with the honing quality of my small norton (bear) translucent 2X1x1/4. What do you think, guys? Is this the same quality and grain?
This kind of material is hard to find in Brazil, and I never saw a "pike" stone before.
