Thanked: 9That's a real beauty! Wish I wasn't so color blind. Looks like pictures of Schwedensteins I've seen. I've never seen the term Old World Cut before. Does that have to do with shape?

Thanked: 21Schwedenstein huh? Never heard of that before! I've been told possibly a hybrid coticule.

Thanked: 3215There are some Thuringian’s with the green and grey mottled pattern. It would make sense, if it slurries easily. Some were called Schwedenstine mined from between the Green and Black layers from the area where Ecscher’s were mined.
There are some good pics on the razorlovesstone site and a good write up here on SRP by Hatzicho. (The origin of the so-called „Schwedenstein“ Hones)
Interestingly the pre war, WWI Escher’s were the Green stones from the upper layer and the Grey/Blue/Black stones from the lower layers, Post WWI.
How does it hone, is it a finisher? Old reviews seem to be pre and finishers,

Thanked: 21Thanks for the info. I own a yellow green Escher. This stone is nothing like my Escher. This I think is more like a Coti. Far more aggressive than an Escher. Is the schwedemstein is A thuringian of sorts, this stone is not a Schwedenstein

That is a schwedenstein for sure. They rank in between cotis and thuringians in terms of finish, possibly in hardness. They are good stones.

Nice looking hone. Have you shaved off of it yet?
