Help with hone ID
Got this stone today, tagged as a TOS.
I did some looking thru the net, and seen there were different looking , and grades of this stone.
I can tell you this much, its grayish blue, with light gray specks, and harder than $#!+ to lapp. I've gone thru 3 sheets of 220 wet n dry, and probably 2 more to get it done.
So I'm curious, does anybody know what this might be, or is it a TOS.
Mike

Sorry, but what's that stand for, and where would it fall in a progression.

'People's hone of indeterminate grit'. That is what Hirlau is joking about!
Guessing it came in that box?...Also guessing you have cleaned it up considerably.
Reckon it's old? Someone will know!

Not to rain on your parade, Mike.....I have always done better with razors than rocks in the wild. Even then...Notso good! Originally Posted by outback

That's why I like um from the wilds, their cheaper.
Whatever it is I'm only out $17.[emoji57]
I gave $15 each, for the Escher and Coties, last weekend.[emoji38]sharptonn likes this.Mike
