    That little one I thought might be a Vermont or Vosgienne. Doesn't have the green I was seeing in the big pictures so it'll have to just be a regular slate. Test it against the others as it looks like it may well be a decent finishing slate.

    The redder blues are still regular blues to my eye as well no La Lorraine there. There is a fair bit of colour variation across blues. La Lorraine is really red and quite a bit more distinctive, Although for honing it acts like a fast BBW rather than a Coticule. You can still shave from a BBW edge it's just not easy to get a good edge from one without knowing what you are doing.


    11. I'm looking at that one now and thinking it has many of the signs of perhaps been a Schwedenstein hone.
