    Default Polish hone?....

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Ose-ka-do-ostrze...QQcmdZViewItem

    Hey all, has anyone used one of these hones? Nenad translated it to be a quartz based hone.
    I got mine really cheap, about $6.50 with shipping, he has several listings.

    Thoughts?

    Very nice, do you know the average grit size?

    It's coarser or finer than a Thuringen stone?

    It's harder or softer?

    Default Very interesting

    Randy, please let us know what you think of the stone once you use it. Sounds like this may be one more arrow in the quiver!

    -in Polish "łupek" are being named, I don't know the English counterpart
    -it isn't arkansas, he is coming from the family of limestones but he isn't limestone
    -It's coarser and softer than a belgian blue (i have blue cocitule)
    - 4000 grit, but I can be wrong

    So... are you the seller on Ebay?
    Are these stones mined in Poland?
    Are there any other fine stones in Poland?
    For us hone junkies this is fun!
    Thanks for the information!

    Thanks very much for the link to Wikipedia!
    It was very interesting to see that an area in Germany called Thuringia is known for slate production. Hmmmm......

    I will be looking forward to receiving the stone.

    It's possible to but one of those stones without ebay, or without bidding?

    How much is the price?
