Flea Market find
Bought this hone at a flew market today and finally cut through all of the oil on it (still needs some work) does anyone have an idea what it is and maybe grit?

I know some guys that use them for low-midrange razor work. You could always give it a shot and see how you like it.
Even though I don't use them for razors I love washitas. You'll be hard pressed to find a single stone that's better for knives and tools.

I just released a video of myself using a washita as a bevel setter and then on to mid range. What other stones do you have?

Well the video shows using a washita and coticule to go from dull to shave ready. If you want to watch it, it's in the thread coticule slurry on an Ark in the honing forum. Originally Posted by bsohm
