    Default Belgian Blue Whetstone find

    Tuesday I went to my local market and walked by some stands with antique and 2nd hand stuff. In a box filled with old tools I found a gray stone apparently used for honing tools and brought it home.

    I had no idea what it was but Oldengaerde recognized the pattern as that of a BBW.

    I lapped most of the chips out. The red brownish slurry surprised me a little and it seems a soft stone compared to the hones I've lapped before (Swaty, Rozsutec and PHIG/C12k).

    I haven't tried honing with it yet.

    It measures 22.9 x 5.5 x 1.9 cm.
