Thanked: 0Help needed again to try and ID hone
I'm trying to ID this hone from ebay. Originally thought it might be a CF so took a chance as it was cheap. when it arrived it was well warn with dips to centre on both sides; one side 2-3 mm and the other about 1 mm. Set about lapping thinking it was going to hours if not days. Using 100 grit Wet and dry actually took about 40 mins to do both sides so I was amazed, it has to be quite soft. I finished the lapping using 320 and then 400 Grit Wet and dry. It is quite a fine hone and testing it on razors has prodced some fantastic results. I would go as far as to say it's now my fav hone. I've seen a picture of a similar coloured hone here on Straight Razor Place and was wandering if they are the same. The one here on SRP was called Cutlers Green. Pictures below are of my razor pre lapping and after wards and picture of the one called Cutlers Green. If the pictures are not clear, the stone is grey and green (in my opinion an emerald green rather than olive green)
