Thread: First hones: used

Samuel, I'm assuming that neither has a small label on the end with the color designated ? I have a 'Barber's Delight', same box and the stone is end labeled yellow green. I have a 'Barber's Choice' in a box and the end label on that stone reads light green. Finally I have a Blue Green with end label in another type box. It seems, IME anyhow, that there is a relationship between the color of the bottom part of the box and the color of the stone.

My Blue/green is in a medium blue box while I have seen dark blue Eschers in darker blue boxes. My light green is in a box with the bottom portion a light green and my barber's choice yellow/green has a yellowish look to the bottom of the box. The top is identical to yours.

As far as the stones, they are all a gray color with nuances between them. It takes a trained and experienced eye to recognize one color from the other if there is no end label. The exception is the dark blue, it being much darker than it's cousins. The good news is they are all great finishers so it really doesn't matter which you have. If you want to double your money shoot me a PM.
