First off, at the moment I have no pictures! sorry HADites! I picked up a hone on ebay for 20 dollars shipped. It came in a box and was black/concave from all the oil/honing. I cleaned and lapped it and was pleasantly suprised! i figured at best I would have just another coarse stone, or an arkansas. However this stone is neither! I would place it around 8k right now, I haven't had time to do further testing on it. The color of this stone brings me to my first question. It is a sandy salmon color with darker black specks. It looks alot like a medium india stone. My question is, can a norton med india be lapped with a 750grit diamond stone and hone like its 8k grit? I find this hard to belive, however i am open for sugestion. I have also looked at all the hones in the database/eslsewhere and it looks closest to a norton med india, but I don't think thats what it is.
