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

If this is a Washita & it does look like it, you would not use it after 4k let alone 8k. It is the coarse grade of Arkansas type stones. Originally Posted by sidmind

Bite the bullet and go onto E-Bay and buy a Swaty hone for about $22 American, save a lot of work and you know when you put a STr8 on it is won't ruin any metal. IMHO, thanks for readin'!!
