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!

Yep that's them! Give it a shot its a nice little hone. I made quite a few laps and then let it dry out for the final laps, it builds a natural hazy slime to it with water after some laps. I use it after my norton 8k side and skipped the naniwa 12k.

This is my escher similar colour. i have found so far my edge is smoother with water . milky slurry finishing seems a little more crispy for me. I still need to try more as i have only owned the escher 2 weeks

Nice stone Gary. Enjoy the edges you get from it.

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.
