    Default Anyone recognize these hones?

    Hey folks,

    Just picked up what looks like two hones from a local garage sale. Does anyone recognize what they might be? The first is a milky, almost translucent material, with the second being rather coarse with perhaps slate on the back?

    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Joe

    I agree that the first is probably an Arkansas. The second, whatever it is, looks way too coarse for razors. Garden tools, yes. Razors, no.

    Best wishes
