Thread: Thuringian 1x5 tool grade?

Does the stone furthest from the box look like a razor thuringian or like a thuringian at all?

If you can tell anything from my phone pics.

Looks like a Schwedenstein, they also appeared in these boxes or on small paddle strops and boxes...i will add some pics later

Is there a visible pattern? Or is yours tending towards black, in one plain color? Its hard to see on the pictures ;-)

Because of the size, probably not tool stones, more likely razor or penknife stones.

Better photos, close up of the ends, side and lable.

Nice find, lap and put a razor to them.

Tending towards black, little bit of pattern but nothing in comparison to the thuringian beside it. Cheers will look up schwedenstein.

Use the given link, there are also the black mottled ones shown...

The one in doubt from all other angles

And close up, dry and wet
