Thread: Jewelers sharpening stone

I I'm hoping to find out what kind of stone this is. I'm guessing it's some type of jewelers stone do to the size. It's 6.5×13/16×3/8. It had a mud red color and would easily make a finishing stone. It's rather soft. Any info would be very appreciated!!

Nice sheets!

I have no idea about what the hone is but the narrow size is doable for an experienced honer who is capable of keeping the razor flat on the narrow hone.

Thanks!!! Sadly the sheets aren't mine....but they work real well to keep me warm at the lake[emoji1]..

I was thinking of a gunsmith's stone, maybe for doing polishing on internals for trigger jobs and such ?

That would be tough for any type of razor work! I am thinking that stone is for jewelry or small parts like Jimmy mentioned...

Too large for trigger work. Most use small sticks and slivers of Arkansas, 3/8 square and about 1.5" long....but everyone has their own favourite.

Measure it in metric.

I think it's a 165 x 20 mm stone.

I'm thinking it's perhaps a really well aged coticule. Possibly out of a paddle hone.
