Here is a picture of a Frictionite hone. Is it similar to this?

Sight unseen I vote No on the "is this a coticule?" thing. The really weird side of me hopes I am wrong though....
Coticules do not produce greyish black slurry without steel.
Well Russhi
You got us all lathered up over your mystery stone and still no photos.
That's like singing happy birthday to me and then telling me there will be no cake............

I know, I should have qualified. When I wrote 'steel' I did mean razor...
I'll be equally pedantic and say when using a DMT to flatten a coticule, it is the diamonds that touch said hone in any event.
I have a Pike coticule that says Made in US on the box, but not stamped on the hone itself. In fact, it is a BBW glued to a coticule, so I guess the box really should say (since this thread seems to be pandering to the pedant) "Glued in US".
