Thread: Just shipped my last labeled Thuringian

( Two labeled Eschers were sold before taking this picture)

Today I have said goodbye to my last labeled Thuringian hone, I have collected Eschars for a good period of time, my aim was to study the differences between the different color designations and to compare the resulting edges. I concluded that the QC on the Escher stones was very tight; all the labeled Escher stones that I have owned and tested leave scratches in the 1~micron region, although the Blue Greens and the Yellow Greens tend to be on the finer side of that region, and they are a bit faster IMO, however all of my Eschers provide me with the most comfortable edge ever, my skin is yet to find a finisher capable of giving what an Escher has to offer of the perfect balance between comfort and sharpness.

These stones were a specialized razor hones around 150 years ago, how great this is !!! The best statement to describe them is printed on their own labels.



I kept only one unlabeled vintage Thuringian, it is maybe a Blue Green or a Green one I can’t really say for sure what it is the color, but from it performance I am sure it was an Escher. Also I still have a small Yellow Green too.

and as always the funds form selling a stone are recycled into another


Happy honning,
