Thread: A Special Stone

IN pics Bottom one is so called brown Escher.
As you can see they all have exact same labels.
i am not sure how clear pics will be or can you figure it out differences colors of the stones.
I do think Brown stone is way better then any Escher out there(sharpness wise +smoothness of the edge)
Gray ones will have sharper edge but not as smooth as edge comes out of brown escher.
(you may call it differently i use this tirm because at that time i thought it is an Escher stone)
The issue is if you want to get proper edge from those stones you must use oil not water.
hope this helps.

Man I like that bottom one! Sham, just how many stinkin stones do you have?

His contacts with the KGB and CIA are also a big help.

I just couldn't bring myself to put oil on a stone for honing razors. Regardless of how much better the edge might turn out.

I found the answer Gents:

4. La Lune Special stone
French razor hone with a lot of glittering very nice looking stone harder then Escher same bounding muddy clay like hone feels very nice and very fine too. Much faster then Escher

This is really a verry nice stone whitch gives a top edge
Here is one in it´s original french wooden box.
One the side it says "to be used with oil or water"
Personally prefer to use almost all my stones with water.
