    It sure does. Looks like a tool hone to me, from what I can gather in the pic it may also be synthetic.

    Before I cleaned mine up, my dad said he found it in an old barn so it's insanely old and it's a very fine natural stone. Clean it up and you may find it is a synthetic stone. After I cleaned mine up it is synthetic and coarse, looks like someone used it to sharpen a lawn mower.

    Could be a scythe stone ......
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I understand its Hard or impossible to Tell. It was found next to a escher hone and nobody has entered the workshop for 20 years, so she wondered if this one was used for razors aswell. Well anyways thanks all if you
