Thread: A Mystery Hone

Here's another I acquired recently but know little about. It's grey and feels very smooth, but not glossy. My fingernail can't make a mark on it. It's 4" long, 2" wide, and 7/8" thick.

I hope I'm not being a dufus to put up such an undistinguished rock and having the temerity to ask if anyone can ID it! I have, however, been astonished at the abilities of this community to do just that.

Seems like coarse stone.
Can you use for sharpening razors?
i think so but not as high grit hone.
Let me add this. i am saying this just seeing the picture specially the broken corner of the stone.
i may be wrong too.
The best is test it and see how it will act.

Ya know we had jokes about this sorta kind of thing with the flatlanders that came to visit, when I was in Colorado...


Remind me to tell you that story next time we are on the phone LOL
