My dad's old honing stone

[crowballs]

What is ya'lls opinion on this old hone? It was my dad's and I tried to use it on some old pocket knives and found it to be damn near useless with them, seemed to be that it was too fine for those needs. Then I got the bug for a straight razor and I remembered it. I don't know how coarse it is, I just know it takes forever and a day to get an edge started. I used it on one of the razors I recently recieved after lapping it some, I know it wasn't quite enough but it still helped, and well for the final edge I think it worked almost gloriously, as I wasn't qiute sure what to expect. I think it's Arkansas stone, I say that because he got it while we lived in Louisiana. By the by, it's about 5'' by 2 1/2''. See if this works...
