Can you help identify this hone?
I purchased this hone on e bay last weekend and I'm in the process of flattening it.
It's a razor hone without doubt. It feels glass smooth. It is green/grey in colour with a black flec in the stone that looks a bit carbon like. The second picture magnifies the surface a little to show the flec. It came in a nice box with a lid. Looks like satin wood.
It measures 180mmX40mmX13mm or 7"X1.5"X.5".
If you sand the surface, it makes a white slurry.
It's a metric measurement so probably comes from mainland Europe. It dates to around the 1940's/50's.
Any idea what it is?
