Thread: Welsh Thuringian

I picked up the dark 15k version of this stone. Just so I can follow along what are you calling that one

A myth

I get very leary of numbers on Naturals there is some guy on E-bay claiming 15k Chinese too,

LOL, I do not know what else to call it right now.

Here is the one I have

LARGE 8"x 3" V/ FINE 15K ! SLATE RAZOR HONE "WELSH THURINGIAN" sharpening stone | eBay

I agree Glenn its my pet hate giving grit ratings on natural stones! FWIW I think AJ's suggestions are a tad optimistic but to be fair the purple seems a little below the result of a Naniwa 12K while the greenish seems a little above to me, albeit with much more work.

I tell ya it is really hard to beat the polishing effect of the Naniwa SS..

But hey these are priced good they are fun to hone with and I am getting shaveable edges as good if not a bit better then the Norton 8k level which is my personal test of most stones... Can it beat what I can do with a Norton 8k is the question I like answered...
