Thread: Escher? - Afraid I screw up...

Actually, It looks like a Droescher hone to me. Looks like someone took a label out of a 5x1 box or pehaps larger, I can't tell the scale. The only way to know, is to use the hone. Droescher btw, bought and relabeled Escher hones, and look very much like that one. Just as good as Escher. I'll post a pic later.

My Droescher is 5x2 1/2 and my Eshcer Barber's choice is 6x2

As mentioned, many variants with Escher, it may well be one....

Test it!

Like this 1x5.

Thanks for the input guys.

It's 5x2 so I suppose it's possible it's a Droescher, and if I have understood correctly basically is a re-labeled Escher?

From the look of the stone it self I am relatively optimistic, it looks a lot like my Thuris in color and grain, but I guess I won't know for sure until I get it and get to test it.

I'm not sure what Droeschers go for, but if it really is an Escher I did good, if it's a Thuri I did okay for one of this size, if it's useless I've learned to be a little less trigger happy

I also got another stone that I have no clue what so ever what can be, but it was cheap

If anyone have a slightest idea of what it can be any input is welcome, I will post some more pics once I get it and have it cleaned and lapped.

Hard to say, looks kind of thin the size.
I personally did not believe it was Escher, the box did not look legit to me with the label put on it like that.
Usually that size has the label on the back of the stone. Droeschers are Thuris, and if I am not wrong exported by Escher. They also have the lables on the back, they are labeled Droescher.
Hope your stone is a Thuri and not something of lesser quality

I have written the seller this week . I explained him that the lable belonged to Escher of another size and that he is responsible for naming it "Escher hone" . He wrote that he had sold lots of Eschers and knew what he was selling . Anyway , you can give it him back and write a negative feedback . But I think it is a good stone .

Label has nothing todo with the package. Later add on.
Lets pray you get something decent.
Best Case vintage thuri
Worst Case a crappy synthetic barber hone

Are you even sure it is a natural and not a barber hone?

Honestly, if it turns out to be the worst case (synthetic barber hone) I think you'd be well within your rights to claim false description and ask for a full refund.

There's no point worrying about it until you get it in your hands Rune. Everything before that point is pure conjecture.
