Thread: Silver hybrid bout Rustique info?

Ok so I got this hybrid bout Rustique from Germany and it is a strange hybrid coticule. I have looked through hundreds and hundreds of images and pages looking for anything even close. I know some strange ones exist because I saw some in my looking. Only none with this silver to them. The edges have been incredible so far off this. A bit crisper and keener not as smart an edge as a usual coti. It will bite you, but leaves the face feeling very nice and refreshed with no irritation.

Anyway I was wondering if anyone else has seen one with this silver or has one? If you know what would make this color in a coticule? I can see layers on the side, with some possible LL coming through the center of this hybrid plus Manganese running all the way through showing on the bottom too.

First pics show the hone with a normal LL bout hybrid side next to it for color comparison.

Hi, did you get that from ebay a couple of weeks ago?

yes. A very nice seller who has sold more escher stones than I have ever seen. He must have a honey hole of hones.

Yes he must. I just bought an Escher from him. I think I bid on that hybrid. Nice looking stone. I'm glad someone here got it.

Thanks for not making me pay more. Thomas was the nicest seller I have ever bought from. He talked back and forth with me for a while and even wanted me to let him know how my razors performed from that hone.

I actually sealed the bottom and sides due to some areas where water could get in. Looks even nicer now. The black manganese spots on the bottom almost stick out.

I know it is a coticule, but can't find anything with this silver color to it.

I won't get into bidding wars its just counter productive but I was very interested in that stone. Did you try looking on coticule.be web site they have a lot of stones they have cataloged? You might find something in the ballpark.
