Thread: "Another" Help with Stone ID

Hi guys, I picked up a job lot of 4 blades, a nice mahogany box, a small labelled Escher and another hone, I have no idea what it may be, it is very irregular shape with rounded sides (on two sides) these form a wedge shape, the stone has many dips and risers and needs lapped...but I would like to know something...anything about it.
Please fire in with any ideas.

Thanks Bob.

Hard to say from the photos you posted.

Add photos to your post, by using the 3rd icon from the right (upper left hand Icon bar) to select the photos and up load them to the post, so they can be loaded into a photo editing program and enlarged.

I used the icon you mentioned, that is the way they came out 🤔

I'm a Mastodon with this computer crap but I believe that somehow you need to figure out how to make the original pics larger and THEN re-post them. Just a thought

Wedge shaped hones are made for tools. At least thats what ive read. Ive seen a few.

The photos are too mall and not in focus, so they cannot be enlarged to get a clear photo. The are just grey stones, could be anything.

Try another camera, even newer Phone cameras take pretty good photos.

Does the stone slurry easily, what color is the slurry, it is soft, has the stone been cleaned, did you get it with the labeled Escher?

It's a wedge shape stone, they were made for sharpening small curved blades used for instruments and tools.
