That is because the French made it ! Just kidding it has the colors of a double ought frictionite. I have one that is creaming on one side and darker brown on the other.

Awesome, and thanks! It seems very fine, guess I’ll have to muster up some gumption and give it a whirl to see where it will fall in the progression.

You can try turning the hone on it end and run your thumbnail on each color and see if it leave a mark. Do not do it on the part you put the razor .

Are those dark spots on the hone or pits? If it is a barber hone with pits in the surface I would think that indicates a problem with the binder. I remember another member posting that barber hones should not make a slurry during use so that would be another tell when you're testing it.

The cracking does suggest a barber hone that has had some degradation of the binder.
After ten years on SRP I regularly "autocorrect" in reverse--typing hone when I meant home!Last edited by Utopian; 02-25-2018 at 03:43 PM.

It slurried when I used it to sharpen my pocket knife. It had a white slurry to it.

I don't think it's a natural. The pattern of the lines that could become cracks suggest a man made stone. With a problem with the binder, as mentioned above.
On natural stones, this kind of two colored combo, it's not rare for Thuringians, alas we are not looking at one.AlienEdge likes this.
