Thanks guys for your input.
In the case of the first stone there was, as says in Germany, "the wish the father of thought" (do not know whether there is a comparable speech in English). Amazing that I got a useful sharpness for my straight on the stone, but probably one get with a good coti-slurry from each old sofa a good hone ...
The Arki I will lap properly as recommended and then times with Ö operate
Yes SIR!

Nice stones, I really like the second one. I have a stone that looks similar to the second stone and I've been wondering what it is for a while now. I'll try to get a picture up on here.

Congratulations thank you for sharing. The first does look man made maybe German Extrafein? Stone tailings and dust from natural stone cuttings were often recycled, reconstituted. The second looks to be a natural old translucent Arkansas stone. Unless it is one of the local German Troutstones. Hatzicho or Doorsch may have more info on these. Check under all the oil flaps. Enjoy.

Thanked: 3215That looks like an oil soaked Lilly White Ark. I soaked one in Simple Green for almost 6 months, to get it to release all the oil and back to white. Changing the solution every couple weeks.

Thanked: 3215I almost always have a half dozen stone soaking, under the sink. I keep 3 jars, with different levels of cleanliness.
Picked up this 6 inch Yellow Green Thüringen yesterday. It popped out of the case with a tap of a hammer, soaking in oven cleaner now, and will go into the soup for a long soak.
I change all the solution, when I think about it, every couple weeks or so. Some take longer than others. Noviculites take longest.

Thanked: 59I'm under the impression that getting a "Butterscotch" tinted translucent is as good as they come.
Enjoy!

This is the hone I have that I thought looks similar to the second hone. Looking at the pictures side by side this one is colored a little differently or it could be the lights. I've been wondering about this one and not sure if it's appropriate to share it in this thread or if I should have started a new thread. Since the conversation was already going I just decided here.
