    Where did you get yours (Escher/Thuringians ) ?

    One from a farm auction. Two from ebay. One from the SRP BST. I didn't buy any of them from a commercial vendor.

    If you look at the picture on timbertool.com's site you'll see it is exactly the same as the one on MST's site.

    Also the sizes are the same as those of MST's Original-Thuringians.

    So my guess is: these are MST Original Thuringians.

    It may be from Thuringia, but it might not be good for my razors. That's why I was waiting. I'm chicken!

    I bought the large thuringian stone from Timber Tools a few months ago. It is a great polishing stone and the large stone comes with a slurry stone.(the box it came in had MST something or other crossed out in black marker)
    My opinion might not mean much as it is the only one I have besides a chinese 12k. I have also not been honing very long,(6 mo.) but I have gotten great results using it with my Norton 1k, 4k, 8k, then the Thuringian followed by a CO pasted paddle strop
    The stone itself came finished on one side and had no inclusions. It is blue/grey and when wet turns very dark blue.
    The only problem I had was that when I bought it they had it advertised as an Esher. They have since changed the ad. I do not regret the purchase because it seems to be the same type of quality that everyone raves about on this site.

    Hope this helps!!
