Congrats James,
She should give you years of great honing.
Please share some pictures when you can.

OK,, you may very well be right.

but for sake of friendly conversation & educationing me, Please, what details bring you to the conclusion that the photo in question is the famous Norton axe hone?...

my bad, as the kids say; I thought it was an auction item, not a Buy-It-now.

Still, no photo of the black side; this would help to identify it as the famous Norton for axes.

I do not believe...

I would not sweat it. I do not believe that it is the stone you are thinking it is. Regardless of the colors, ie.. red/black , that stone sat there for a while and ended with only "1" bid. I am sure...

Sid,
your link is generic, no specific item is linked ???
