    Default Blue Chinese 12k hone?

    I've been reading a lot about the Chinese 12k hones and everyone describes them as blue-gray and I would agree from the pics I have seen. What's up with this Chinese 12k hone, that to me is decidedly blue: New Chinese Water Hone / Waterstone for Straight Razor | eBay

    Is this just like all the other blue-gray Chinese hones out there, or is there something different about this one (better or worse)? Thanks for any help.

    I think that's just bad photography, all I've ever seen are various shades of grey to almost black

    Mine is green, given the high kryptonite content. I just get so weak and wobbly when I hone with it.....
    Don't get hung up on hanging hairs.

    I bought one of those, and it's not blue at all, rather dark grey to black.
