    Default 1$ estate sale find, What is it? P.S. mother in-law bought it for me!

    My sweet mother in law, who for 30 plus years has indulged my hobbies, found this for me at a local estate sale. She paid all of 1$ for it. When I first held it it was so worn and loaded up that it appeared to be an old carborundum (it is just a hair bigger than one), but when I later looked closer at it I saw that the lamination/layers were not even and figured this was a natural cut stone. After I worked it over with a flattening stone, I could see its true color. Now I still have no idea what it is. It seems to be fairly old, The box had no markings. The stone itself is probably about 1K-3K, it feels fairly aggressive.Name:  IMG_20150809_221716088.jpg

    At $1.00 you cant go wrong. Even if it is too aggressive for a razor, would be good for pocket knives.

    Mother-in-laws can be great as is yours. Great score and the price was right.

    I would be very excited if I found a 1-3K natural hone that was even slightly aggressive. Try it first on a knife or a chisel and then work up to a razor. A good natural capable of bevel setting is very rare.

    It is a useless piece of junk that you must send to me immediately so that I may dispose of it before it infects the population and creates a pandemic of global proportions.


    P.S. there will of course be a small disposal fee.

    I had owned a similar stone to this and was in box marked by state abrasives. Not to say it os the same but does look it.

    it seems to me it's kind a hard for razors. but it can be used for delete the chips in the bevel. or you can use it for knifes. for 1$ it's a good deal.
