Nice stone!
Do you hold it like a barbers hone when you use it for better control?
I would want a piece of leather in my hand just in case a finger got in the way.

I picked one up of these MST Thuringians from B&B. The link was here. I haven't used it yet.
Well I just shaved off the little Thuringian stone and it was very nice. I will be keeping this little guy! :nj
Nice stone Gary. Enjoy the edges you get from it. :tu
That's an awesome Escher, Gary, nice! I am trying to get one right now for cheap, to please the HAD! I would ask Sham about finishing with the Escher he knows about them more than anyone else I can think of. I believe he always uses Slurry stones to build up lather on the hone. The amount of strokes he uses I am not sure about. I know he likes to use a lot of time on final edges (you can watch his honing videos where he has like 8 Eschers lying on a table with a zillion other hones all spread out, it's awesome).
I also have a Thuringian. I think it's ok. you get nice edges with this stone.
