ID-help Japanese honing stone

Hey, can anyone explane what I have? Thanks!http://straightrazorpalace.com/attac...b-dscn1181.jpghttp://straightrazorpalace.com/attac...b-dscn1176.jpghttp://straightrazorpalace.com/attac...b-dscn1183.jpg

PM JimR, or go to his website called Eastern Smooth. He's had his hands on more than a few. And he can read Japanese! :)

I can't help you but the one on the left in it's current state isn't suitable for a straight with all those nicks in the surface.

Thanks, indeed! Is it possible to solve this problem and how?

it would have to be lapped smooth. depending on what the stone is will give you a clue as to what best to use.
