Just got this stone in today. It was listed as a B/G thuri but I'm pretty sure that this is not a thuri.My guess, and it's only a guess, is it's a CF
It measures a bit over 8" by 1 3/4 x 7/8 thick

I have no idea, :shrug: , but I sure like the looks of her.
Thanks for sharing it.
CF >>>>>>>>>>
Does it have have small translucent-ish lines in the stone, like broken flakes? how hard is it?
Doesn't the slurry looks like it's too white for a Charnley? They usually are too hard to slurry.
I don't see any translucent parts but yes; the stone is pretty darn hard. The slurry was made buy a dmt, a regular stone could not produce slurry with this stone.Quote:

It probably is. I'm no hone expert so I really had no clue as to what a CF hone would or should look like. Even so, I'm still satisfied with the purchase.
I would be, you got a nice hone and great finisher most likely.Quote:

To me it looks like one of the "newer" cut CF in times between WW1 andWW2
How does one tell a "newer" one from an older one?
I think it's a nice Cf too.
From type of manufacturing proces used to make it.Quote:
