Thread: Yellow lake oilstone

It's described as being a hard dense black stone. I've tried YLs before and currently use my Inigo Jones DT in my honing progression. They do a good job.

Probably the same as mine, definately works well as a pre finisher for me finer then 8k.

Why did you not say so that you wanted one of them. At present I have few some of which also have the boxes or atleast recognisible parts with them. It skould be as described very dense, nearly black hone.

Just looked at the final price and have to say well done. Less than half what they lately going for.

Thanks. It didn't occur to me to ask for it. They are pretty common so I figured I would get one sooner or later for a nice bargain price

The seller refunded me £1 of the £14 I paid for shipping It's actually the standard cost for signed for small packages of that weight, but it seems to hurt more when the item is cheap

This YL stone is purple and feels rather smooth, very similar in colour to my La Lunes. Once it's lapped I'll take some pictures.

Now that hurts. Finaly purple marked YL was on market and I missed it.
