Thread: Weird stone

hi

i found a stone which has a sticker on it as "la lune" but i'm not quite sure if this a "la lune" or the sticker came later on it to sell it? it seems it has gross grit, but as i never seen a la lune i'd like to ask you.



thanks and good holiday

I think that's a stone used to sharpen a scythe

that's what i was saying. it's not la lune as we know as the finishing stone for razors.

Yup it's a scythe stone. I have yet to obtain a La Lune for my razors and NOW I have to lust after one for my scythes as well!

I already have about 10 scythe stones and they all do work differently and provide nuances to the edge--just like razor stones.

And no, I have not shaved with my scythe!

I suspect that the company that sold and put stickers on their razor stones simply sold other sharpening stones as well. This was common practice and I think it is a more likely explanation than any kind of sticker fraud.

Correct statement, F.G.B.C. sold all types of stones, as we see Scythe stones but also the fine razor hones (La Lune, Special Stone), Combinaison Stones (Synth./Natural Combo) and plain synthethic stones....they also sold stones which are today sold as Pierre aiguiser naturelle de Saurat...

There is a near looking Artwork like from FGBC, beeing sold as Pierre aux Croissant, here we also found Belgian Stones...

Here is a screenshot of the pricetable from 1974 from FERDI. The model is listed at the bottom...

Two snaths and three blades...so six!

But I've got my eye on another blade!

We should all be very grateful we don't have to peen our razors.

A while back I bought 2 La Lune scyth stones just for fun, they're pretty coarse.

Now you're just being mean.
