German Natural Hones.

I recently purchased two new hones from Germany.
MST - Müller** Schleiftechnik look under new product.
He sells two types. One is a finer quality than the other. The fine quality is green/grey in colour. Mine measures 5" x 2.5" x .75".
The other is grey/black in colour and measures 10" x 3" x .75". A big hone.
I also have a small belgian coticule that is salmon pink/cream in colour.
I've read many descriptions of these types of hone and I don't intend to repeat the excellent descriptions in the review section but I thought I would show you some photographs that I took with my new toy a 200 times digital microscope.
You can make up your own minds as to which one you may prefer. I think they are all good and the big black hone is incredible value for money.
