    Well it is not a slate. Looks more like a sandstone type of stone.
    Such as for example the Gosauer we have in Germany:

    How hard and fine is the stone really?

    Regards Peter

    It took a 300grit diamond plate quite a bit of time to to flatten it. As for how fine I can only compare it to what I have at my disposal.
    It is not quite as fine as the Coticule from my other post.

    But much finer than my Norton 8k but if feels a bit more gritty than my Shapton 12k.

    If you can tell me a way to test how hard it really is I would be glad to try it.

    I never saw any saw marks on this one but that that line on yours that runs the length of the stone is also present on mine.
