    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

    Default PIERRE LA LUNE

    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.

    If used with water after a 6000 cerax stone i find this stone sharpens equaly fast,
    while giving an edge that is just a little bit finer than my coticule
    and on par with my tigerstripe coticule.
    Nevertheless in my experience the edge can be improved by my vintage Thüringians and my CF stones.
    As always it also depends much on your personal technique
    As this stone can also be used with oil this may improve the edge further as some members report.
    Personally I have not tried to use it with oil by now.


    Some stones that i use, Picture from left to right:
    Coticule, La Lune, Thüringian, CF, Tigerstripe

    Would this be one as well? Looks like the stone is layered and sawmarks are at an almost identical angle to the layers as on the 2nd picture of the opening post.

    What's a la lune? Is it a finisher? What is it comparable to?

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
