    The 'slip stone' is the wedge shaped stone. Machinists, gunsmiths, jewelers use them for getting the hone into irregularly shaped areas, like in the tool known as a gouge. No idea about that big rectangle but looks like someone got plenty of use out of it.

    The one with the rounded edge,is not a razor hone,not even close to being one.
    Is used for sharpening wood gouges.

    No idea what the rectangle one is? Can it be lapped and flattened?

    Everything can be lapped and flattened!
    Go for it and let us see what you get.
    Only time I won't flatten a hone is when its really old and got a value as it is, like a viking age hone I got.
