New Hones: ID help? (pic heavy)
Bought a lot off e-bay of about 11 hones, 4 of them ended up being naturals. About 2 hours of lapping later, and I ended up with 4 nice flat stones (6 if you count the bbw sides of the cotis!). The Dark blue escher and Chinese 12k are in the pictures for color comparison.
2 of them are Coti/BBW combos, and then a large 6.2 x 2.2 x 1 (unknown #1) and a thin little 6.1 x 1.4 x .2 (unknown #2). i suspect unknown #2 is a Thuringen. as for #1... Wow, interesting! I'd love to hear any input. It feels slightly more coarse than a BBW to the touch. that might not mean anything though.
OK..lots of pics. I'd LOVE to hear any comments on unknown #1 and unknown #2!!!!! The coti's...are so different too. I'm not much of a hone guy, what can I expect from these two cotis?
I'll get around to testing them soon.
