( 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.

Just PM me to get straight answers for your curiosity.:)
I hope that I haven't hurt anyone till now...
I think thats the way to go here, and its the right way. Many topics are bound together, and it would be really annoying to let the hone stuff standing on its own....
Thats why i really like adding history stuff or interesting facts to the hone topics!!
I personally think its important to explain details if these are interesting and if they are a real addition to the subject. For sure its not good to drift away too far...but however if this is the case, the mods will tell ;-)
