Please help ID two hones (one is a MONSTER)
Both purchased today. The bench hone is over one foot long, two inches thick, and 3 inches plus across. Any help on ID would be great! Thanks in advance.

The Coticule is a very good stone for razors, going back hundreds of years.

The Monster one, i dont know its very dirty, do you think its a natural stone or man- made?
Can we see a pic of the bottom of the stone?

Yes, it has been suggested it might be a tool hone, ax, etc oilstone. I cleaned it up a tad with some warm soapy water. Originally Posted by Martin103

I dont see any saw markings on the sides probably a man-made stone, looks a little rough in grit as well, couldnt be that good as it was obviously used as a coaster...
Mike compare it with the Droescher you got today as well.Last edited by Martin103; 01-29-2016 at 11:59 PM.

I disagree, I think it is a natural stone. It appears as though there are straight saw marks on the sides as if sawed by a reciprocating gang saw, and the one end at least appears to have radial saw marks. My guess would be a sandstone but the pictures aren't the clearest when viewed on my phone.

I think I know somebody that has one of those :<0) Maybe..
In fact the whole front of his house is done in them and the fireplace.
Wait and see if Wolfpack knows.Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
