Thread: Hone ID?

I know, I know another hone ID thread, but since I have never owned or held a thuringian hone I am not sure if this is one. It was listed as a vintage thuringian and since it was only like $25 I thought I would take a chance since I have been wanting to try one. Dimension are about 6x2x5/8. The price and the dimensions are what really had me drawn to it since 6x2 are my preferred size since I like to hold my stones. So far from messing around with it it seems to have the same silky feel of my PHIG, but it cuts alot faster and gave a nice smooth edge. When I got it it was black and felt extremely smooth. Looked like it was glazed heavily, but there was about a 1/8 dip that had to be lapped out. Lapping it took maybe 2 min at the most to take it out. Still has a couple of small chips on the surface that could be lapped out, but doesnt seem to affect honing so they can stay for now till I start to not like the look of them. After lapping it looked greyish blue, but I think I am partially colorblind so you decide. It slurries pretty easy and the slurry looks like a grey or light grey. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated. The lighting it the pictures might be misleading cause the sides of the stone are still black or really dark grey.
