    Does the vein run through the stone to the other side? If not lap the other side and try again

    You can see the dark vein in the middle. After lapping I can't feel it at all, but the razor seems to. I feel a lot of drag at that spot.
    I've tried it with slurry and without.
    Oh I see what you mean, that's the first time I seen one with a vein running horizontal through like that. With the sensation you describe I wouldn't doubt that's the culprit.

    Unfortunately it goes all the way through the stone.

    That's not good I'm sorry man I feel bad. With everybody talking about there stones having problem I looked at mine and there was color discoloration to it so without hesitation I lapped the other side cause it was all the same color. And with slurry the edge was back to normal in no time thank god hahaha

    I cut about 5/8" off the end of mine to make a slurry stone.

    That's a interesting idea I'll have to remember that. I use a dmt card right now and it works great

    That vein is way more pronounced than the color variation in mine. I see 2 options.

    Use short strokes or circles to avoid that vein.

    Or cut it up into slurry stones and sell them. Use the profits to buy another hone.

    I'm wondering if maybe some places that sell these stones grade them better. Because I bought my C-nat from a guy in Poland that seems to grade them, because I see he sells some labeled 8k and the one I bought was labeled 12k. I have heard of people buying a few of them from woodcraft before finding one they liked. Anyone else share the same opinion? Just a thought.

    If you live near enough to an actual Woodcraft store, you could probably tell them what you're wanting it for and they'd let you open a few of them up before you make your decision. There's two Woodcrafts within two hours of my house, and they're extremely helpful in-store.
