Hello adrspach,

Item number is 130567763011. Probably is the stone you are speaking.

So, isn't this stone a DT? In fact on the advertisement the words "dragon" and "tongue" aren't mentioned. I though that it is a DT from description (approx 12000 grit, extremely fine stone, it is very hard, it is a slow stone, etc…).
I admit that my knowledge in stones is very limited, so an error of mine is highly probable.

I have the same Polish - Chinese stone. Mine was not advertised as a dragons tongue. It came perfectly flat. Not sure what it is, but use it at the finish of my sequence.
Postage was more than the stone?

Hey guys!

That is definitely a c12k and not dragons tongue (As mentioned a couple of times above) - i took a photo of mine so you can see the difference.





Still a very good stone, if not better then the Dragons Tongue IMHO

Hello Alessandro, welcome to the forum, very good post and keep it up.

Brightly, nice to see your face again in these parts. Alx

Hello Brighty.
Thanks a lot for your clarification! Now I have to correct also the post on Italian forum.

Just to clarify. Ypu can get DT from trusted hone vendors in UK however to my knowledge not over the bay. If you look over one of my previous discussions about origins of DT specifically about choice of material and making it would clear up quite a lot of mess which was made by bay sellers cashing in on slate sold as BIG name hones.
