    Default 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.

    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.

    I'm reading the big one as sandstone. Give it a real good stripping of muck, pop it on a polished granite tile or some float glass with sic or wet dry and see if swirls show up on the surface of the hone.
