    The first one isn't a Thuri, the rest of the label just says "rubbish - cast away", the second one only a useless artificial junk stone and the Tam isn't a Tam, just a geak stone with measles. Send them all over to me Sid, I will rescue you from this trash for 20$!

    I have a very similar one that is just a little slimmer at 1 9?32" wide. I paid a coupl of bucks for mine at a flea market I go to monthly. The guy had no idea what he had & was a knife dealer that had a few straight's. I love mine & it is a great finishing hone.

    Good thing your not in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, or Arkansas which is where I drive to and hunt for watches, razors, stones or other small items I can flip.
    Although I have a tendency to hoard more than sell.
