Headstone for honing razor?

**Gibbs** · 02-18-2011, 05:11 PM

The local Mortician gave me one of his samples of headstones that they no longer make/use. He had quite a collection of them. They are sent to him as samples for him to show to customers the color and looks of the stone, in case they want to try and match up grave markers. They are 5" x 2 3/4" in surface area.

I thought about this and he gave me one, free, the other day. I thought maybe with a Belgian Couticle piece with it's Garnets, it might provide a nice flat work area and do well as a platform for honing razors.

What do you all think?

If all else, I have nice paperweight. or pet headstone.

I heard that's what the Dubl Duck workers used to hone the grim reaper razors

That stone is to die for.

You could probably play with using nagura and/or diamond pastes on it.

Where, exactly - is this graveyard?

Waiting for my Belgian Couticle slury stone to arrive and will see if it's any good for a "base" for sharpening. Grant it.. could be.
