I've wondered the same, and have yet to find anything like mine in hones distributed by other companies. Dunno where it came from but glad I snagged that one and for under 50 bucks iit was an...

Ive looked, pretty sure I've got the only boxed one left...yeah its a natural stone, very hard, very fast....and if it is dished much you'll be spending 5 or 6 hours lapping it lol....well worth it...

Haha I like em, I just really like the Modock lately, still dont have a clue where the source of that natural stone is but it is a fast fine finisher....wish I did, I'd have a collection and it is...

Wet the purple shows more but looks more brown with a hint of purple dry, definitely a natural in person you can see the striations. I am pretty sure I can shave off the darker side, it cuts pretty...

Well, I honed up a dubl duck special no.1 on it, 1k jns > bbw >coticule and it does a great job, not the closest shave ive ever had but it shaves comfortably. The yellow coticule blackens the slurry...

There isnt a glue line and it is definitely a natural stone, also as stated before, I wouldnt mind seeing if there is a label back there. Ive got an old barber that comes in the shop and hangs out...

The hone came from Selfkant, Germany also

I will say the box seems very well aged, no oil gunk, and doesnt stink like a goat, stone lapped easily, not sure how old it is but looks like it has been in that box a long time...if I do get the...

True enough, I'll take your advice and leave it as is, never played with a bbw so only reason I wanted it out.

I was thinking of belt sanding the sides to the stone so I can get a better view of the underside then saw most of the bottom wood off then belt sand it off...seemed safest

Found this 6"x1 1/2" coticule on Etsy a few days ago for like 70 bucks...need to get it out of the box its mounted on to use the bbw back, kinda hate removing it but I wanna see what's back there...
