My barber hone, please advise
i picked up this barber hone at the flea market for $1.00 this last weekend.
it was heavily cupped in the middle on both sides. I managed to flatten one side on my sidewalk, then a little honing with wet sandpaper.
can anyone half way identify it? I am trying to figure out if it would be a good finishing stone to use after my Norton 4k/8k or would the 8k norton be better to use last.

What makes you think it is a barber hone?

Hmm. I guess I don't know. Just assumed, it is very smooth.

You would have to try it and see for yourself. I have absolutely no idea what it is. Originally Posted by sidmind

probably more like, Hey that's cool it's soft and smooth like a barber hone. I am a newb..... Originally Posted by kaivorth

We use the system at work to look for excessive carbon chains after heat treat, but I think it would be good to see "how" smooth my different hones polish up.
Our corporate offices have a scanning electron microscope, now that would be cool...
