    Default Lookie, lookie! Lovely, lovely!

    I picked this up about two weeks ago. The price I paid for it would not buy me a bag of popcorn at my local theater. It had been severely abused by it's previous owner, and left for dead. Took a little work for me to get it back in shape, but was well worth it.
    It puts a lovely edge on a straight razor.

    Thrift store. It had sat there for at least a month. I even looked at it once but passed on it, thinking it was just another Aluminum Oxide stone. Wasn't until I picked it up and turned it over that I knew it had possibilities. But my eyes are bad, and I could not make out the label. Bought it, took it home and looked at it with magnification, and happy happy.

    Amazing find for an unbelievable price!
    I found an unlabeled/unboxed thuri in the same manner once, don't expect to be lucky line that ever again.
    Can you make out the color label on the end of the stone?
