Thread: Hone ID please.

It makes a very fine edge. Very fine

I was just looking at this thread,
http://straightrazorpalace.com/advan...-forest-2.html
It looks like the one Jimmyhad posted underneith hibuds ....
could it be a CF and if it were an arc, does the colour dictate any sort of grit? It has no translucence, and I have 2 arcs that are nothing like it. One is surgical black and the edge is not comparable.

Your stone is not a CF, neither is the one below the CF in the thread you have linked which is in fact a Lyn Idwall or a Tam O'Shanter.

thanks, do you believe it to be a LI or tam oshanter?

I am unsure of what yours is. The bottom one in the link is a LI or TOS.

I have a thuringian that has a chipped corner that looks like the layering in this stone. It is a type of shale isn't it?

Here's what I am talking about.

I really need to get better at this. But if you ignore the size, doesn't it look a bit like the Turkey Oilstone that was posted a few days ago?

The pattern in the stone is what is throwing me off. It almost looks the same as the bottom of a light green thuringian I had at one time.
