    Hi.
    I've recently acquired this hone. Any ideas what kind of stone is this ? Surface is very smooth,just like chinese 12k. It makes slurry very fast.

    It looks like a Charnley Forest imo but they're very hard. Unless you're using a DMT it won't make slurrie easily.

    I currently have five of them all very fine but no synthetic to compare them to. Some have reported they can improve the edge after a 16k.

    Congrats, nice find!
