Thread: Hone identification - French hone or what

I get also this 16.5 x 5.5 sm hone quite hevy and dense . A hard and wear resistent stone . It hurt my hands to lapp with the coarsest DMT avaible .
With slurry is fast stone in a 5 or 6 k range , on plain whater gives verby fine edge as it works fast .
With glycerine and oil it gives amaizing edge .
Is a hard stone that works with a surface . And very pretty also .
Did someone know something more abbout it , please .

just hone and finish a Birdemieler 61 on this stone . Man what a razor , what a stone , what an edge .
Absolute beautyfull shave , close and smooth .
This stone is a keeper , gives sharp edge still very fine , no comparition avaible .
Its a fine , medium to hard finisher .

I noticed that stone right away in the pictures in another thread, I'd like to know where it came from too.

There is something familiar in the grey cloudy swirls in that stone but I can't place it.

Well it looks like mine green Vulcan hone. That's a rock I collected by hand on Tenerife, cut and lapped it myself.

It's very hard, and a great finisher.

Perhaps I'm not the first who got that idea? :-)

well my frend im sure that your stone is a capable and great finisher . Im sure also that isnt the same stone as mine and Doorch stones . Sory if im being rude .

I'm sure you are right. But they do Look a like :-)
