Lets Play Identify This Hone
I bought this hone about 37 years ago, long before I ever thought of shaving with a straight. I used it for polishing High Speed Steel cutting tools back then when I was machining metal. It is man made, 12"x2"x1", very hard, smoother that an 8k norton in feel, but looks more open grained in visual appearance. I had it all loaded up after using it for years with oil, sharpening knives;Took forever to lap out the loading with a norton lapping stone. I can shave off the edge, but my PHIG or purple Welsh stone gives better edges.
Any of you have any clue who made it or what it is made of? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance. Todd
