    Default Info on this hone?

    Picked up this hone at the local flea market for a good price. It was very oxidized(the original color is on the sides) I lapped it flat today. Yellow part seems very hard and I believe the lower is not for honing but just a backer. Did I stumble on a coticule?Name:  20160925_182314.jpg

    the backing looks like a piece of slate and not to be used for honing correct? I ran a scrap knife across the back part and it did not seem a material suitable for honing. The best part of finding this was it came in a package deal a Torry barbers notch, a pre 1891 Joseph Allen and sons with 3415 mark and the stone for $30.00 USD.

    Hey Mack! Youre backing is a Belgian blue stone which in many cases might be usable for honing. It owns less garnets then the yellow side and gives a very nice polishing....

    Try to create some slurry which should then work faster removing metal from youre kitchen blade

    The backing is a type of stone similar to the yellow coticule top.
    Coticules are found/mined between two layers of the purple side and it is called Belgian Blue .it has a different garnet content than the yellow and if I remember correctly they can or do run larger (the garnets )

    As youre stone shows only one corner where it was cut away a bit, i dont see an issue lapping it flat on that side. So just try out and see how its performing....
