    Default My first thread here, hone ID question.

    I am offered a hone, but hesitating if I should buy it. Looking for a finishing hone. Probably it'll be hard to ID this stone from the pictures. But every attempt is well appreciated. What questions should I ask to get closer to knowing the type and grit of this one?

    for me the pics are too small to tell.
    also please clean it up so we can see more detail.

    if this is an active auction, they probably will not clean the stone.

    With the pictures as they are, my best guess would be a Norton India oilstone. I think I can make out an orangish color, but this is only a guess as the pics don't reveal much.

    Just got the answer from the seller, he is not willing to ship to me....So probably I'll try to buy a welsh slate. Thanx for the input anyway.
