    Yep that sounds better. Look on that stone how it is made. It could help if you will be looking for another one like that. Enjoy the hone.

    I have one of this brand. Very fine, probably near a good Thuringian with water. It used to be purple, but now it's black, and the slurry from purplish it became dark too. Strange thing. But I don't really mind. I like it. I think, their purplish variety is far more common than the rest of the old yellow lake named hones.

    I have always avoided them because of the name "Yellow Lake"....... To close to "Yellow Snow".... Which then it would be easy to identitfy by the smell.... Sorry, I don't get out much...... Vivid imagination really..... It's not healthy.....

    eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace my new yellow lake. It has a stamp of salmen, now, I'm not sure if it's the "support genuine British labour" or a salmen one, as far as I know, they are different companies. It doesn't look like a classic purple one, I hope it's one of the other rarer kinds. I will soon test it and post my results.

    Sorry to ask Vasilis. Do you have stamped purple YL? So far I have not seen one therefore calling it "classic" comes to me as surprise.
    Otherwise congratulations to your new hone. If you will be sealing the sticker/decal be carefull if you use nail warnish or something simmilar it can damage the sticker/decal.

    I will do my best to seal it but I'm not sure with what. I was indeed thinking to use nail warnish or whatever its called, but if anyone has a better idea how to do it, I would be glad to hear it. IF it is actually a salmen one, and not just a sticker. The stone has not yet arrived, but it soon will. And I hope it's not the classic purple variety.

    If it is purple I am willing to swap it for grey one.

    I've already have a purple one in good condition. What are their differences? And not only the grey, all 4 kinds, if we could categorize them, which is the finer and the coarser, the faster and the slower?
