Thread: ID 2 slate hones

Hi all

New guy here. Great forum. I've been reading alot here lately, and decided to join the fun.
I have a background in woodworking, so I'm used to sharpening tools, and that's how I realized that stones are awesome.
I started buying at fleamarkets when the prize was right. Now I have a few... I also discovered that most of them weren't really that suited for tools, or they were rather slow, and I bought some ceramic stones (Bester, Sigma) to speed things up. Then I was left with all these hones that got no use, so recently I bougth some old beat up razors and now I'm here. I've been at it for a couple of months now, so I'm still a newbie, but I'm slowly improving my skills.


I'm looking for ID and opinions on these two hones. They are both fine and rather fast, but I dare not put a grit number on them.

Dry


Wet


Slurry
