    I dunno. To me it looks more like the business end of a stone hoe (note: no N).

    According to many, slate don't hone. Hoe it may; hone it don't.

    I agree with Bruce, it doesn't look like a hone to me either.... It looks like it was a VERY primitave razor at one time, judging by the way it narrows down at the one end. Weren't pieces of slate used for shaving once upon a time??

    Its way to small to be either, although it does look broken at one end.

    Bruce, don't tell that to the Welsh makers of the affordable Dragon's Tongue hone!

    Mica(!?), it's the only cutting material in many stones.
