I have trouble telling grit size if I had it in hand...
I could ID coarse, Med and fine
I always have to look up the color coding...
Hey there's a thought...
Maybe NORTON's site will have the info...
I have had good results with contacting via email or phone the company about an old product...

Thanked: 154Hi Tod,
That looks a lot like a Norton Medium Crystolon/Fine India combination stone. (I used to sell them.)
Hope this helps,

I've never sold them like Jeff has, but my guess was going to be a Norton India. Coarse industrial oilstone all the way you have there.
If you're going to use it and use honing oil on it, just be sure you keep it far away from any waters tones you'd work with. The last thing you want on a water stone is oil.

With Jeff's info, I was able find this:
Norton Professional Sharpening Solutions - - - Bench Oilstones
INDIA - SOFT ARKANSAS COMBINATION BENCH STONES
These stones have 2 different abrasive types on opposite sides of each stone, reducing the cost of owning a variety of abrasives and grit sizes for sharpening.
7 x 2 x 1 w/ wooden box 61463685860 Fine India/ExFine Arkansas SIB27
with the measurements of 7x2x1, and wooden box, this may be it! Also looks like they don't make it anymore.Last edited by todot62; 05-10-2009 at 03:13 AM.

Thanked: 317Well, that oilstone certainly looks like a closer match than the 220/1k.
Can somebody who is more knowledgeable than me explain what grit this is or would be equivalent to?
