    There does seem to be some slight confusion as to where these hones originate. Some sources give the origins of the stone as Central Turkey, whereas others claim that they originate from Crete, which was a part of the Ottoman Empire; so in either case Turkey Stone is accurate.

    Kindest regards,

    Now I had the chance to try this hone, thanks to Sham,
    I am really surprised.

    It starts with the noise! Its way louder than a coticule.
    You could fear for your blade, but it does not eat it.
    What it does, is making a hazy finish, but only very shallow scratches.

    Just finished a blade with big surfaces on an 8000 grit Henckels (Naniwa)
    to mirror finish, then went back to the TOS with oil.
    It went into the polished steel after only a couple of strokes.
    Hazy picture again. Edge still straight at 100 x magnification.
    Polished again on the 8000 really easy.
    Lapped the TOS once more and removed the oil.
    Tried with water and got a finer haze.
    Stropped the blade and the strop polished the very edge just fine.
    The rest of the bevel brightened up while stropping, but not completely.
    Polished the rest out on the 8000 grit Henckels really easy.

    Not sure how I like it better, with water or oil.
    The hone is funny. Never seen such a weird surface from others.
    I'd say its a keeper!

    I would say its a turkey Oilstone, some daylight shots would help to give a better statement....
