Unknown German water Hone
I just recieved this hone today and would like to have some help to id it. The next question is: how do I remove it from the box, it's probably glued to the bottom. The size 187 x 40.
For color comparison: On the left a light green Thuri from Hatzicho, the next is a grey green Escher, then the ?new hone and on the far right a Swedenstein.
The slurry is from a 600 Atoma
It has a blue like hue to it.
It slurries easier than the Escher
There is some blue in the Escher that has the same color as the new hone. My best guess is a light blue Thuri.

Thanks,
I think I wil take the lid of the box first. And I will try the hairdryer trick first. If I would put it in hot water do I do that in up side down position?

The Escher is about the same size and has been my favorite finisher lately. But maybe I just need to take the lid of to comfortably balance the stone in my hand while honing. The hairdryer loosened the glue of the box at the hinges so maybe I will give it a try later.
